MycoComposite TM
The Magical Mushroom Company produces Mushroom® Packaging that is entirely home-compostable without the need for chemicals or industrial processing.
21st-century science increasingly looks to nature to solve the problems that face mankind. This powerful movement is known as biomimicry, and we believe it holds the key to our ability to survive and thrive. The process we use to grow our packaging is happening in woods and forests around the world every day as it has done for millennia.
Mycelium technology pioneered by Ecovative Design LLC.
Putting waste to work
Working with farms local to our facilities, we take the waste products from hemp, corn and timber production and put it to use. In fact, we can reuse natural by-products from almost any industry. Wouldn’t you like to use your waste to protect the products you sell?
Mycelium
Mycelium is an incredible living network of fine fungal roots that cleanses the earth and even allows plants to transfer nutrients between each other.
As mycelium breaks down debris on forest floors it creates a web of thread-like filaments (hyphae) that branch out to consume organic matter. This natural process can be grown into virtually any shape or form to create infinite variations of product packaging...
Design
We engineer bespoke solutions together with you to protect your products.
During rapid prototyping and product testing, we ensure alignment, durability, and quality assurance. Growing the mycelium within our facility means it takes just a week to create your packaging.
MycoComposite™
The resulting product is an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based polymers. Packaging developed by Ecovative Design and exclusively licensed to the Magical Mushroom Company in the UK and European Union.
MycoComposite™ is a high-performing material, cost-competitive with conventional expanded foam polymers, yet uses a fraction of the energy to produce, and is 100% home compostable.
