S.Lab produces green packaging combining only two plant-based components. By harvesting the strength of agricultural waste and the binding power of mycelium [the network of mushroom roots], S.Lab creates strong and reliable material capable of fully replacing foamed plastic. The material has all the same features as polystyrene in terms of thermal insulation and water resistance, but after the usage it will fully biodegrade in the soil without any trace in 30 days. Today S.Lab has developed its proprietary production technology designed explicitly for plant-based packaging, making it possible to adjust production capacity to meet growing demand.
