Mycelium Packaging

Circular mycelium container illustrating Monterr’s sustainable packaging ingredients, with two labels: one pointing to mycelium shown as fungus and fragments, and another pointing to agricultural waste displayed as dried plant material.

Growing it

Our mycelium-based packaging is a fully biodegradable material grown from fungi and agricultural waste, it offers a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials like plastics, cardboard  or styrofoam, without compromising strength or protection.

100% Biodegradable / Customizable / Grown for your product.

Empty PET molds for mycelium packaging arranged on a stainless steel counter in Monterr’s lab, before being filled with substrate, with lab equipment visible in the background.

Making it

Each packaging solution is custom-designed to fit the unique shape, weight, and needs of your product. Using organic waste as a growing medium, the mycelium naturally binds the material into a strong, lightweight, and compostable form—designed with intention, and made specifically for you.
