The makers of non-alcoholic spirits are now working with a solution from nature for a new gift set: the cells of a mushroom.<\/p>\n<p>You can't have gin or schnapps without alcohol. There was no doubt about this before Seedlip entered the market. Now that the manufacturer of alcohol-free spirits has proven the opposite, it is also focussing on more originality in its packaging. A new gift set consists of 100 per cent mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The packaging is completely biodegradable and recyclable. It was developed by the British company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magicalmushroom.com\/packaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magical Mushroom Company<\/a>, which offers a whole range of packaging solutions. As with alcohol-free gin, they consist of biomass and mycelium.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-2489716896\"><div id=\"packa-1210106026\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38298\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-38298\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mycelium_Seedlip_Resize_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After 45 days, the packaging decomposes in the compost or in the flower bed (Image: Seedlip)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A pleasant side effect: if you want, you can use the packaging as a planter, which is why Seedlip includes a few thyme seeds.
