Mushrooms are being used to grow packages
Mushroom Packaging therefore contributes to “up-cycling” by providing new value to agricultural waste that otherwise has few other uses and low economic value.
Sustainable
It is a sustainable and home-compostable alternative to the plastic foam that is clogging landfills and waterways. We are reducing plastic pollution with the power of mushrooms.
All-Natural
Nature already offers everything we need, and the solutions to many of our problems. As a division of Ecovative Design, we use the latest mycelium technology and expertise to provide high-performing materials with little or no environmental impact, using zero plastics like polystyrene.
What is mushroom packaging?
A ground-breaking alternative to polystyrene and foam packaging, mushroom packaging is a biodegradable and 100% plastic-free solution made from mycelium, the roots of mushrooms. Processed with hemp hurds, previously considered a waste by-product, mushroom packaging is a smart, efficient and commercially viable way to reduce the use of plastic packaging.
What are the benefits of mushroom packaging?
Mushroom packaging brings benefits to business, to the end consumer and to the environmentRequiring no post-processing or industrial breakdown, it utilises waste products to create an effective sustainable packaging solution that ultimately returns to nourish the earth. A true circular product!.
