Mushroom Packaging : [materiali naturali] / Ecovative Design LLC

• Pubblicazione: 1 campione di materiale
• Descrizione fisica: Green Island (NY), Stati Uniti : Ecovative Design LLC.
• Soggetto topico: Imballaggi
• Type File/ Data Note: Packaging made from agricultural waste materials and produced by living organisms. Regionally available agricultural by-products like cotton burrs, rice hulls, and buckwheat hulls that are high in lignin provide a growth medium for fungal mycelium, the roots of mushrooms. Producing the material requires extremely low energy because the material grows independent of lighting conditions, with no watering and no petrochemical input. The parts grow in about seven days, forming miles of tiny white fibers that envelop and digest the seed husks, and bind them to form the final product, which is dried to prevent further growth. The entire process uses about ten times less energy per unit of material than the manufacturing of synthetic foams. It has a density range of 6 – 8 lbs/ft³ (0.096 – 0.128 g/cm³). The product is 100% biodegradable and compostable. The material replaces expanded polystyrene custom molded foams, and is designed for use as a packaging material.
