Mushroom Packaging
The packaging’s grown from mycelium, creating a biodegradable protective material.
What Makes It Different:
- Mycelium-based (grown from mushroom roots)
- Home compostable (your backyard)
- 45-day breakdown
- Fully natural, no synthetics
- Carbon-negative (sequesters carbon while growing)
How It’s Made
The packaging’s grown, not manufactured. They use agricultural waste and mycelium in molds.
Growing Process:
- Collect agricultural waste (hemp, wood chips)
- Add mycelium (mushroom roots colonize)
- Grows in molds (forms protective shapes)
- Heat-treated (stops growth, makes it stable)
- Ready to use as biodegradable packaging
Why It’s Better:
- Upcycles agricultural waste
- Carbon-negative (sequesters more than it emits)
- Water-efficient, minimal water needed
- Low energy (natural growing process)
- Home compostable
