There is no doubt that as an industry, both by making physical products and shipping them to customers, we have some challenges around packaging.  

We’ve already had some great sustainable packaging suppliers on the show including the Better Packaging Company as well as HeapsGood, but the sharp eyes among you may have noticed the logo for this podcast includes Mushroom mycelium block.

Back when we were just starting up the podcast I thought that mushroom packaging was one of the coolest and most interesting material development concepts in the sustainable ecommerce space, and I still do.

For that reason, In our last interview of 2022, I wanted to take us back and explore this space a little further.  My guest today is Amanda Morgan, Co-Founder and CEO of Fungi solution.

Their mission is to divert material from landfill are repurpose it in the production of alternatives to single use plastics.  

In this interview we learn just how important fungi can be in both the reduction of trash as well as fighting climate change, and of course how you can incorporate mushroom packaging in your supply chain.
