Science: Mushroom Plastics Can Produce Decomposable Eco-friendly Auto Parts

Ecovative Corp. of New York, USA, recently used mushroom hyphae to produce decomposable environmentally friendly automotive parts.

This innovation consists in producing a foam by replacing the mycelium (mushroom roots) and agricultural waste (such as the outer shell of cereals and other discarded organic crops), which can replace Styrofoam and polystyrene products, and Widely used in many areas, such as packaging materials and home insulation. Mushroom plastics are used to produce car baffles, bumpers, and foams and insulation made from petrochemicals in the doors, which can make the car partially degradable. Compared with traditional plastics, mushroom plastics are not only less costly, but also fireproof and waterproof. They can be decomposed within a month or so after they reach the end of their lifespan. Ecovative said that the promotion of this eco-friendly material also requires a series of tests on the production process, quality and toughness, but they believe that this kind of mushroom plastic can have a very broad application space in the future.
