MUSHROOM PACKAGING
MAGICAL MUSHROOM COMPANY, Great Britain
Magical Mushroom is a UK based company which produce compostable packaging. They harness the natural flexibility and strength of mycelium, the material structure of fungi, to grow protective packaging at any scale by combining it with agricultural waste like hemp, cork and sawdust.
They grow a completely natural alternative to fossil fuel-produced polystyrene and other polymers at industrial scale, in any size, shape or form. And unlike other “compostable” packaging, ours breaks down naturally in the ground, without any help from chemicals or energy-hungry industrial composting facilities.
Packaging developed by Ecovative Design and exclusively licensed to the Magical Mushroom Company in the UK and European Union.
MycoComposite™ is a high-performing material, cost-competitive with conventional expanded foam polymers, yet uses a fraction of the energy to produce, and is 100% home compostable.
They are certified C2C: Cradle to cradle. The gold standard for sustainability.
