Sustainable Packaging: Redefining the Future with Mushroom® Packaging

Packaging: Burden or Blessing?

Solving the Packaging Waste Problem with Innovation

When you look in your trash bin, you’ll probably see lots of packaging items. Each day, an average person throws away about 5 plastic packages without giving it much thought. This is problematic as we use valuable resources like oil to produce plastic, which are quickly discarded, polluting our planet. While we recognize the harmful effects of plastic and work towards minimizing them, alternative materials may not always be more environmentally friendly or simpler to recycle. But we have the solution!

“It’s important to rethink the requirements of sustainable packaging: it should come from renewable resources, be used locally, provide protection, and be easily recyclable.”

Jan Berbee

CEO, Grown.bio

That’s why we offer Mushroom® Packaging, the revolutionary innovation made from mycelium.
The best part is, mycelium meets all these criteria and there’s no need for large recycling machines or a long process. Mother nature takes care of the recycling process naturally.

The Power of Mycelium

Discover the World of Fungi

What is mycelium, and why is it a game-changer for sustainable packaging? Let’s take a quick look into the fascinating realm of fungi:

  • Fungi & Recycling: Fungi play a crucial role in breaking down and reusing organic materials. We for example use local agricultural byproducts for our final substrate.
    The mycelium networks (root structure) contribute to soil health, bind soil, and transform organic matter. It’s a natural recycling system that benefits the environment.
  • Versatile Properties: Mycelium is a remarkable material that can be shaped, molded, and grown into various forms. It’s the ideal choice for creating unique and beautiful designs, from protective packaging to furniture and even building materials.

Why Mycelium is the ultimate Packaging Solution

A Better Choice for a Greener Planet

Our sustainable packaging products are designed to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. We are committed to designing our packaging solutions with a focus on sustainability and smart design. We understand that it’s not enough to simply create packaging that can be recycled; we need to consider the entire life cycle of the product. This is what sets our sustainable packaging apart and makes it different from other sustainable solutions!

More and more companies choose sustainable packaging

The criticism of packaging waste is significant. Especially packaging made of Styrofoam and plastic poses a huge environmental burden. To minimize this burden and improve their environmental balance, more and more companies are opting for a consistent switch to sustainable packaging. The environmentally friendly packaging is also increasingly in focus because it is necessary to meet legal requirements. It positively affects the company’s CO2 balance, helps avoid future plastic taxes, and reduces waste quantities and environmental pollution.

What effects do environmentally friendly packaging have?

Whether you are looking for an ecological alternative to Styrofoam or want to replace other inlays – investing in ecological packaging pays off in many ways. It helps avoid environmental pollution, promotes sustainable resource use, and makes it possible to contain climate change.

A good environmentally
friendly packaging pays off

Consumers often see packaging as a necessary evil. However, this image is not appropriate because packaging fulfills a variety of important tasks. Especially in shipping, it protects products from possible damage. Studies have shown that about 30 percent of all complaints are due to transport damage, which can be avoided by using good packaging material. Furthermore, environmentally friendly packaging can help reduce climatic impacts. If customers decide to return the goods, it also ensures safe transport, allowing the items to survive without damage. In all these cases, it is essential that the ecological alternative to Styrofoam fits the respective item as well as possible.
