FUNGARIUM
Sustainable mycelium foam solutions
disrupting conventional Styrofoam packaging.
Cheap, overengineered and ubiquitous
Crude oil product with high price variability and carbon footprint**
15M tons per year produced worldwide***
~500 years to degrade, harmful processing for environment/humans
The B2B market uses ~80% of it ***
Direct cause for climate change, forbidden by 2030**
Opaque recycling rates and practices

In collaboration with Wauter Mannaert, and ZAM we created a comic (in German only) explaining the importance of the mycelium as a future material. Available for download. The comic was presented in the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2022.
