There are now numerous providers worldwide. The great advantage is that it is completely compostable. Based on a mixture of the fungus-cell combination mycelium with substrates from agricultural by-products (oats, buckwheat), the mushroom packaging is grown without the use of chemical substances. After a 5-7 day development phase, heat exposure causes the growth to stop. The result is a packaging that can be grown in any desired shape without the addition of water or sunlight.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">However, the material has not yet become established in shipping packaging. The effort and cost of production cannot yet keep pace with the manufacture of conventional fillers, so mycelium manufacturers such as Ecovative are now focusing on higher-priced products. They are more likely to be used as foam substitutes in textiles or furniture, as leather substitutes or as meat substitutes in the food sector.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grown in shape &#8211; mushrooms as packaging It&#8217;s not just since the pandemic that huge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":625781,"template":"","trend_category":[1212],"trend_status":[3395,3377],"trend_group":[3391],"trend_timeframe":[1210],"class_list":["post-726007","trend","type-trend","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","trend_category-packaging-en","trend_status-compostable","trend_status-packaging","trend_group-compostable","trend_timeframe-today"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Compostable: packaging made from mushroom mycelium - MILK.
