US packaging manufacturer Ecovative Design said it is using mushroom roots to design bio-degradable green packaging.
The company, based in New York, said it is using mushroom roots –mycelia – to grow its EcoCradle packaging line, which uses the nanotech process from filamentous fungi.
Ecovative's material can be molded into custom shapes and doesn't require food crops during production like bioplastics, the company said.
