Ecovative
Ecovative Design is a company focused on developing and manufacturing sustainable materials using mycelium, the root structure of fungi. Founded in 2007, the company leverages a biological process to grow materials that can serve as alternatives to traditional plastics, foams, and packaging.

The manufacturing process is designed to be environmentally friendly. It requires minimal energy and water, and
