MycoBond to Mushroom

Eben Bayer co-invented MycoBond, a technology that uses mushroom roots to transform agricultural waste products into strong and compostable packing materials and insulation. But the future possibilities are enormous. 'EcoCradle™ packaging material is composed of agricultural byproducts (cotton gin trash or other local inedible agri-waste) bound together by fungal mycelium. Mycelium is the uneaten, interwoven thread-like portion of the fungus. We eat the meaty bloom. Mycobond has the appearance and functionality of polymer foams. EcoCradle™ can be manufactured with just one eighth the energy and one tenth the carbon dioxide of traditional petroleum based foam packing material.'* Mycobond is 'so' green because it grows itself -- supply the food (inedible agri waste) and the mushroom root fungus, put it in a mold and five days later your finished product is ready for service. Mycobond will replace styrofoam in the (hopefully) very near future. Kudos to the team. www.ecovativedesign.com

I completely agree, I'll invest in the downfall of non sustainable packaging any day.
