Sustainable Packaging
We’ve created an eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene using mycelium and agricultural waste.
Transforming agricultural waste into eco-friendly packaging, we’ve harnessed the power of mycelium—the root structure of mushrooms—to create a sustainable alternative to polystyrene (Styrofoam)
Completely sustainable
Made from mycelium and agricultural waste, our product reduces landfill waste and pollution, is fully biodegradable, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint, and provides the same durability as polystyrene without the harmful effects.
100% biodegradable
Our mushroom-based material offers the same protective properties as traditional polystyrene, ensuring your items remain safe and secure during transit. With excellent shock absorption and durability, you can trust our eco-friendly alternative to deliver top-notch performance while reducing environmental impact.

How we're doing it
Design
We work with our clients to create sustainable packaging designs that easily replace and fit into existing processes.
Manufacture
Once the packaging is designed, we manufacture the finished product. We work with our clients to scale up order quantities and ship globally.
Supply
For clients with in-house design teams, we supply the raw material directly to their existing packaging manufacturers. The transition to our eco-friendly material is minimal.
