Program Title: Terra Informa - S09 E45 - Can Mushrooms Save the World?
Description: Today we investigate eco-packaging, those environmentally friendly, biodegradable packing materials that are slowly making inroads into the once unbreachable domain of styrofoam. We put Ecovative's mushroom based packaging through its paces and we talk to an industrial designer and a biomaterials developer about how far we can expect these sustainable materials to go in replacing petroleum based products.
