mycelium packaging
Mycelium packaging is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging materials like plastic and Styrofoam. It is made from the root structure of fungi, known as mycelium, which grows rapidly and can be cultivated using agricultural waste. This process not only reduces waste but also creates a biodegradable product that can break down naturally in the environment.
The production of mycelium packaging involves combining mycelium with organic materials, allowing it to form a solid structure. Once dried, this packaging is lightweight, durable, and can be molded into various shapes, making it suitable for protecting products during shipping and storage.
