-The magical mushrooms: A solution to your plastic waste problem
Researchers have been working on mushrooms big time, and believe the fungi could be mankind’s solution to non-decomposable plastic waste Petrochemical PET Resin Textiles
Mushrooms can prove to be your natural earth cleaner and be a solution to the world’s plastic waste problem by making an alternative to the material that takes centuries to decompose.
New York-based biotech startup Ecovative has been exploring mycelium — the root-like structure of a mushroom – to tackle the plastic waste problem as the fungi provide a natural alternative to packaging materials made of Styrofoam.
-The plastics industry is changing – because it has to
That’s the general consensus among some of Europe’s leading plastic industry commentators – the very people working to re-shape the industry.
