Mycelium Made

Mycelium-based packaging offers and eco-friendly alternative to plastic

Trend - Packaging derived from mushrooms is making waves as brands look to offer or use more environmentally friendly alternatives to wasteful plastic and cardboard packaging. Mycelium-based packaging materials are biodegradable and have significantly lower carbon emmissions than their plastic counterparts.

Insight - As consumers begin to take climate change more seriously, they're examining their own impact and the micro and macro ways that they can make changes to reduce it. Eco-conscious consumers are changing everything from the transportation they use to the everyday items they buy in order to reduce their impact and alleviate some of the consumption guilt they feel.
Workshop Question - How is your brand prioritizing eco-friendly alternatives or production?
Trend Themes
1. Mushroom-based Packaging - As consumers become more eco-conscious, brands are turning to mushroom-based packaging as a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to traditional plastics and cardboard.
2. Customizable Compostable Packaging - The packaging industry is moving towards customizable compostable solutions that incorporate natural ingredients like hemp hurd and mycelium.
3. Refillable and Reusable Packaging - Refillable, reusable, and recyclable packaging options are becoming more popular among environmentally-minded consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty - Mushroom-based and compostable packaging solutions are widely used in the Beauty industry as consumers demand more sustainable and eco-friendly options.
2. Food and Beverage - The Food and Beverage industry is adopting customizable compostable packaging solutions that keep products fresh and appealing while reducing waste and emissions.
3. Fashion - Fashion brands are turning to sustainable packaging solutions to reduce their environmental impact and meet the expectations of eco-conscious consumers.
