- Starting point
- Mycelium experiments. Mushroom packaging existed as a trial, not as production.
- What I did
- I co-founded Myco (since 2019). I am managing director and I lead R&D. We built our own production line with continuous sterilisation. The material, mycelium and waste, is meant to replace polystyrene.
