Mushroom Plastic

  • Apr 01, 2025

Ecovative uses mycelium (mushroom roots) and agricultural waste to produce a foam plastic that can replace polystyrene foam and polystyrene products and is widely used in many fields.

Introduction

Ecovative, a New York-based company, uses mushroom mycelium to make degradable and environmentally friendly automotive parts. They use mycelium (mushroom roots) and agricultural waste (such as grain husks and other discarded organic crops, etc.) to produce a foam plastic that can replace polystyrene foam and polystyrene products and is widely used in many fields, such as packaging materials and home insulation materials.

Application

Using mushroom plastic to produce foam plastic and insulation produced from petrochemical products in car fenders, bumpers and car doors can make cars partially degradable.

Advantages

Compared to traditional plastics, mushroom plastics are not only cheaper, but also fireproof and waterproof, and can be decomposed about a month after reaching their service life and being buried.

Development

Ecovative said that to promote this environmentally friendly material, a series of tests on production process, quality and toughness are needed, but they believe that this mushroom plastic will have a very broad application space in the future.
