The Dutch company Grown.bio produces sustainable protective packaging based on mycelium, among other things. In German-speaking countries, the biotechnology company is now relying on Fixum Creative Technology, based in Neuwied, as its exclusive sales and future production partner.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

MycoComposite, also known as Mycelium or Mushroom Packaging, is a sustainably produced material made from Mycelium and local agricultural waste<\/strong>. Mycelium refers to the fungal filaments that grow together to form a network and form the vegetative system of the fungi. Biomass present in the soil is bound and decomposed. The company utilises this natural binder Grown.bio<\/a> to use: Not only packaging, but also design objects and even insulation panels grow in moulds there<\/strong>.<\/p>

Currently, hemp hurds are mainly used as recycled waste material, as hemp binds four times more carbon than wood. During production, growth requires a minimum amount of energy. This results in a total of CO2-negative product<\/strong>. Thanks to the exclusively natural ingredients, products and packaging can be 100 per cent recycled, according to the company.\u00a0 home composting<\/strong> and decompose at the end of the life cycle. The process utilises mycelium composite technology, which was developed and patented by Ecovative Design in the USA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The end product has a damping effect and protects the products packaged with it<\/strong>. It insulated<\/strong> against both heat and cold and is lightweight and water-repellent, yet it can be produce in almost any design<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>

Mushroom packaging is particularly suitable for high-quality brand packaging thanks to its special feel and natural look and feel. The authentic Sustainability story has a particular impact on brand value<\/strong>. Mushroom packaging is also suitable for products that require special protection, such as technical and electronic devices and products made of glass and ceramics.<\/p>
