Ecovative created the first surfboard made from mushrooms! Last week, their Cradle-to-Cradle certified technology was on display at The Boardroom Show in Costa Mesa, California.
The US-based company started growing mushrooms to replace Styrofoam with packaging products that are strong, eco-friendly, and price competitive. Now Ecovative is showing that their biodegradable materials can be used for products that sell at a premium, thus eliminating the need to compete on decimals of a cent with the heavily subsidized oil-based materials produced by Dow Chemical Company and other Neoliberal corporations.
