Biodigestable
Compatible with food waste collection at end of life for anaerobic digestion processing; which turns waste slurry into a Biogas alternative to Electricity or Gas.
Mushroom® Packaging
We call it Planet Positive Packaging
Are you still using EPS, PE, XPS, or die-cut packaging? If the environmental impact of these materials isn’t reason enough to make a change, think again. The £223.69 per tonne tax rate for packaging containing less than 30% recycled plastic from April 2025 should make you reconsider.
THE TRUE ALTERNATIVE DELIVERED AT SCALE
Switching to Mushroom® Packaging is cost-effective, scalable, and natural alternative. Not only is it fully biodegradable, it also meets the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions – helping your business save costs while protecting the planet.
FEATURES
Mushroom® Packaging is a direct replacement for fossil fuel-based packaging, such as:
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Polyethylene (PE) Foam
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Foam
And also, Packaging inserts (die-cut)
Our packaging performs just as well as polystyrene, avoids the new plastic packaging tax, and it is cost competitive with conventional foamed polymers. Our product meets the highest environmental standards for sustainability that your customers increasingly demand. These are some of the environmentally friendly features of Mushroom® Packaging:
Biodigestable
BIODEGRADABLE
When broken down into small pieces at the end of its life, our material has the ability to decompose naturally without oxygen, while going back the natural environment with no ecological harm.
HYDROPHOBIC
Naturally water resistant and shrugs off water, our manufacturing process ensures the materials coating repels water and we also have a process of fully waterproofing.
Cruelty-free
None of the ingredients in our product are tested on animals. We are working towards our accreditation too.
Vegan
The manufacture process and development of Mushroom® Packaging and its ingredients have not involved the use of any animal product by-product, or derivative.
We grow it
We’re the quickest packaging material that can be produced! A high-performing packaging solution, cost-competitive, thermally insulating and no extracting fossil fuels or cutting down a tree.

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE
We protect a host of packaging solutions for many blue-chip clients such as Raymarine that demand the same technical performance as the polystyrene we replace.
The technical benefits of our patented process are:
VIBRATION TESTED
Mimics the conditions that the product and packaging performs during significant transit tests.
EDGE CRUSH TESTED
Measures the prototype’s ability to resist cross-direction crushing.
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
Proof our material with the correct mass has the ability to keep your product cold during transit.
DROP TESTED
A method of testing the structural integrity of our packaging from a predefined height onto a surface.
TEMPERATURE TESTED
Our products pass the rigorous measurement of withstanding temperatures from 70c down to -25c.
Humidity Tested
Reduces the risk of product failure in the field by simulating the humidity conditions that products are exposed to during their lifetime.
application
Protecting more than products
Customers want product protection without pollution.
We grow a completely natural alternative to fossil fuel-produced polystyrene and other polymers at industrial scale, in any size, shape or form. And unlike other 'compostable' packaging, ours breaks down naturally in the ground, without any help from chemicals or energy-hungry industrial composting facilities.
