RESTORE MUSHROOM PACKAGING
Mycelium is grown into custom designed forms to meet home compostable, natural packaging needs.
Restore® all natural protective packaging from Sealed Air, is the first home compostable solution that’s grown, not manufactured, to meet your packaging needs. The power of mycelium (the root-like structure of mushrooms) binds agricultural waste into a strong, all natural composite that offers high-performance cushioning. This material is filled into custom designed forms where it grows into its final shape, resulting in a dependable and renewable custom-engineered cushion. Custom-engineered designs provide the right amount of protection using the least amount of material. The final product is completely biodegradable and home compostable, allowing for easy and environmentally sound disposal.
