MYCOPOR\u00ae is an innovative, 100% biodegradable and sustainable protective packaging material<\/strong>. The material is produced through the controlled biotechnological growth of mycelium (the root-like network of native fungi), which naturally binds agricultural and wood-industry by-products without the addition of chemical adhesives<\/strong>.<\/p>

It serves as a direct, environmentally friendly alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS), other plastics and paper<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
