Ecovative Design sees the world very clearly. They are

aware of the environmental issues that we face in the

world currently as plastic is a huge issue. A lot of the

pollution we have today is due to plastic as its not

something that will disappear.

Ecovative Design uses mycelium, the root structure of

mushrooms to create sustainable products out of

mushrooms, which helps reduce plastic waste and

animal slaughter. Mycelium is compostable and is mixed

with other plant materials to create various products.

They create products such as sustainable packaging,

skin care, furniture and even plant based meats.
