Ecovative has developed the worlds first materials made from… mushrooms! These eco-friendly, high performance materials are renewable and compostable.Ecovative don’t manufacture these materials, they grow them.

 

Today, this young company is producing packaging called EcoCradle® Mushroom™ Packaging. Great for replacing materials made of  extruded polystyrene foam  which aren’t eco-friendly.

EcoCradle is being used by major international companies selling furniture or technological devices to replace foam packaging.

 

It’s newest partner is Ford Motors, together they look forward to a fungus-based biodegradable material to be used for car bumpers, doors, and dashboards.
