Mycelium vs.
Traditional Packaging.
Mycelium offers a biological advantage, replacing synthetics with high-performance circular materials.
The Problem
500Years
EPS foam takes half a millennium to decompose.
Traditional packaging protects a product for a single journey, but pollutes our planet forever. We believe there's a better way.

Grown, Not Manufactured
01
Fill and form
Fill the growing containers with a mixture of hemp fibers and mycelium substrate. Once the mycelium begins to bind the loose material together, let the containers sit undisturbed for 4 days to allow initial colonization and formation.
02
Demand & Grow
Remove the formed products from the growing trays and place them on shelves for an additional 2 days of cultivation. During this stage, a soft surface layer develops, providing an ideal surface for further mycelial growth.
03
Dry & Stabilise
Finally, partially dry the products to stop mycelial growth. This drying process does not produce any spores, ensuring a safe and stable final product.
