Este libro propone una solución innovadora que integra biología, diseño y tecnología para reemplazar el packaging de Poliestireno Expandido por un material biobasado, biodegradable y compostable, elaborado con micelio de hongo. Busca promover su uso en países en vías de desarrollo.
Physical and mechanical characteristics of the biomaterial and its biodegradation
The book explores the innovative use of mushroom mycelium as a sustainable alternative to traditional Expanded Polystyrene Packaging (EPS). It emphasizes the integration of biology, design, and technology to create a 100% biodegradable and compostable product derived from agroforestry or agroindustrial waste. Aimed at promoting mycelium's potential in the global market, the work highlights opportunities for developing countries to adopt this eco-friendly material, fostering environmental sustainability and economic growth.
