Packaging that Biodegragdes Harmlessly ;D
Styrofoam may soon be a thing of the past.

It famously does NOT biodegrade and has continued to pour into
our landfills, especially with the increased shipping due to
expanded e-commerce.

Eco Cradle [/font]is a new packaging that biodegrades
harmlessly. Grown from mycelium, a fungal network of threadlike
cells, the process also calls for seed husks, rice, grain and
other agricultural byproducts.
To make, it uses only 1/10th the energy needed to create
styrofoam. :o

/> Toss it in the compost, or right in the garden.
It is even edible! But it's not water soluble, due to the way
it is "baked". It's fire resistant, which styrofoam is not.
Another beautiful feature of this sustainable eco-packaging is
that it can use all kinds of agricultural waste, depending on
what is native to the region. Saw dust in one area, rice grain
in another. No petrochemical inputs are used in the process.
