Mushroom Material: A Styrofoam Alternative

New Zealand start-up Mushroom Material has developed a sustainable packaging alternative made from fungi. An ideal replacement to Styrofoam for many products, the beauty world is especially smitten with this new substrate. Amazingly, the product is stronger pound-for-pound than concrete and has better thermal insulation than fiberglass. The product is odorless and mold-resistant, and the material naturally degrades within six weeks.

Mushroom Material 以泡沫塑料替代品瞄準美容行業。新西蘭初創公司 Mushroom Material 開發了一種由真菌製成的可持續包裝替代品。 作為許多產品的聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料的理想替代品，美容界對這種新基材特別著迷。 令人驚訝的是，該產品比混凝土更堅固，並且比玻璃纖維具有更好的隔熱性。 該產品無味且防黴，材料在六週內自然降解。
