Magical Mushroom – Europe's first industrial-scale mycelium packaging producer

We are replacing plastic packaging at industrial scale.

Why are 21st century products still protected with 1950s materials like expanded polystyrene EPS that persist in landfill for centuries? EPS now carries commercial risk through plastic taxes and reputational risk through environmental impact. There is a better way.

Mushroom® Packaging is grown from mycelium and agricultural by products to form a high performance protective material. It matches EPS for strength and cost while eliminating persistent plastic waste. The finished material is fully dried and biologically inactive before it leaves our facility, so it will not grow or sprout.

As Europe’s first industrial scale mycelium packaging manufacturer, MMC proves that sustainability can operate at scale and at cost parity.

Since 2020 we have produced millions of units, removing thousands of tonnes of EPS from supply chains. In 2026 alone we will manufacture around ten million more pieces, displacing thousands of additional tonnes.

Leading brands including BA Kitchens, Renais Gin, ICAX Heat Pumps, Tom Dixon, Raymarine and Flextronics trust MMC to protect their products and reputations.

Regulation is tightening. Customers are demanding change. Businesses still dependent on EPS risk being left behind.

Mushroom® Packaging is scalable, cost competitive and commercially ready.
