Eben Bayer: Apakah jamur adalah plastik yang baru?

Traditional plastics like Styrofoam require huge amounts of energy and can linger in landfills for thousands of years, occupying up to 25 percent of landfill volume in the United States. By harnessing mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, innovators are creating materials from agricultural byproducts that perform like plastic but compost quickly in the soil. These materials are grown, not manufactured, and can be tailored using local feedstocks. This approach offers a vision for packaging and construction that works with nature rather than against it.
