Sustainable Packaging

Long description

The project is the embodiment of our vision to create a regenerative built environment that draws on nature for inspiration and innovation to create a step change in contemporary approaches to resource management, design and production methods. We will develop our technology and processes with respect and appreciation for the rhythms of the wider ecosystem, using only microorganisms that are totally harmless to humans and the environment. Using mycelium, the root fiber of mushrooms, to grow our materials on organic and synthetic substrates that are by-products or “wastes” of other industries, our goal is to replace the synthetic and unhealthy materials used in insulation, interior design and packaging. The mass-produced materials will take the form of slabs of different thicknesses and will be able to replace the polystyrene boards used for packaging. They will have better insulating properties, be healthy, biodegradable, and can be sold at competitive prices. In addition, dedicated design elements of different shapes can be manufactured in custom-designed molds at the request of customers. We offer new experiences, inspiring a more conscious relationship with the value, processes and life cycle of materials surrounding us in everyday life. A vision of  retails and spaces that embraces the radical character of nature, to build a more honest and virtuous relationship with the ecosystem we are part of.
