Shocking numbers from the Emission Audit: How mycelium outperforms plastics and gives you a negative carbon footprint
In an era of tightening ESG requirements and the threat of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), it is no longer enough to just talk about sustainability. It needs to be backed up by hard data. Our recent Emission Audit (conducted according to GHG Protocol, Corporate and Product Standards) has revealed figures that are changing the perspective on packaging and insulation materials. If you are striving for real decarbonization and want to avoid “greenwashing,” it’s time to get to know a material that actively sequesters carbon – mycelium.
Myco packaging has a negative carbon footprint
According to the latest emissions audit, our mycelium-based packaging materials have a carbon footprint of –1.305 kg CO₂e/kg in the cradle-to-gate system (from raw material to leaving the factory). This means that their production absorbs more carbon dioxide than it emits.
Eco-friendly packaging without compromise: How to replace plastic and gain more
New European legislation is making the use of plastics increasingly complex and costly. Solutions such as the MYCO 4Pack prove that the transition to a plastic-free alternative is possible and commercially viable.
How MYCO improves the production of mycelium packaging
A detailed look at innovations in substrate preparation and forming that enable efficient mass production and make mycelium-based materials an alternative to polystyrene.
Europe is changing the rules for packaging. Are natural materials the future?
The European Union is introducing a new regulation on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR), aimed at driving the transition to sustainability in the packaging industry. Could natural packaging be the solution?
