Packing Material and Packaging Means
Myco SafePads
The Myco SafePads substitute conventional packing materials such as polystyrene and bubble wrap, providing for an environmentally conscious packaging alternative. The paper casings are filled with fungal mycelium and waste from the wood processing industry, thereby exhibiting good shock-absorbing properties. Their scalable format and flexible nature also allow for optimal placement within the packaging to ensure adequate protection. All components are fully recyclable.
Statement by the Jury
The intelligent use of natural resources results in an impressive packaging innovation with the Myco SafePads, which helps to minimise plastic.
