🍄🥓 ECOVATIVE BAGS $11M TO SCALE MYBACON AND LAUNCH WHOLE-CUT MYCELIUM MEAT Mycelium innovator Ecovative - the mycelium technology company has raised $11M in new funding to fuel the “explosive growth” of MyBacon, the mycelium-based meat alternative sold under its spinout company, MyFOREST Foods . The round was largely led by existing investors, alongside a $1.7M grant and loan from the Advance Albany County Alliance, and will specifically support the “ongoing scale-up of our MyBacon production”, Ecovative founder and CEO Eben Bayer tells Green Queen. The company has now attracted $156M in investment since 2019, and of this, $82M has been raised into MyForest Foods. This latest capital injection will help the firm expand the production capacity of MyBacon, hire new staff, launch a whole-cut mycelium product, and enter the foodservice channel. “Every dollar is focused on scaling the business and bringing more high-performance mycelium products to market,” says Bayer. He notes that Ecovative is creating a “whole new protein category” with AirMycelium, its proprietary tech that grows mushrooms on an industrial scale in vertical farms, allowing it to produce three million sq ft of material annually on one acre of land. The different strains of mushrooms are used for a variety of applications, including sustainable alternatives to plastic and leather, sold under its various sub-brands Forager, Mushroom® Packaging and Grow.bio.

I'm very excited to be one of the invited speakers at the 10th edition of the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2025! 🌱🌍 Ecovative's mission is to create material abundance through the use of infinitely renewable mycelium and our current applications of Ecovative's AirMycelium Technology include food (MyFOREST Foods ) and textiles (Forager). In both applications we use the structural force of mycelium for making truly unique products. 🍄 I'm very much looking forward to discussing the future of biomaterials with an amazing group of thought leaders: Prateek M. - CEO, BIOWEG | Johanna Baare - COO and Co-Founder of Traceless | Alexander Hoffmann - General Partner, Forbion | Alizée Blanchin - Director and Partner, Hello Tomorrow. The Hello Tomorrow Global Summit is the annual cornerstone event dedicated to celebrating and accelerating deep tech innovation. 💎 Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2025, 13-14th of March 2025 🎤 Session: Circular Solutions: Transforming Biomaterials into High-Value Products 🗓️ Friday 14 March (Day 2), 14:15-15:00, Frontiers stage I hope to see many of you there and am looking forward to connecting and learning. #NextGenMaterials #Deeptech #Innovation #NetZero #Cleantech #Technology #Event

As a self confessed fabric geek it’s incredible to see the evolution of materials like these !

☎️LONDON BABY! I’m proud to announce that our mushroom coffin and urn are now available all over the UK!🚀 A small step across the ocean, a giant leap for achieving a positive final footprint. After getting our Loop Living Cocoon™ tested by the leading global quality control company Intertek, we received our official FFMA certification and immediately teamed up with local green funeral directors and distribution partners to ensure next-day delivery across the entire UK. Over the past years, we’ve received so many heartfelt requests from UK families wanting a more sustainable farewell for their loved ones. Until now, Brexit and customs challenges made it very difficult for our Loop Biotech team. But today, we’re beyond grateful that we can finally make it happen and that we’ve already been able to help our first UK families. 🙏 So, if you are in the UK and wish to leave a final positive footprint for yourself or your loved ones, this one is for you. Available now in the entire UK for natural burial, traditional burial and cremation. Ask your local funeral director for more information. Choose Nature. Choose the Mushroom Coffin. 🍄🌱 #SustainableFuneral #GreenFuneral #WoodlandBurial #Burial #MushroomCoffin #GreenBurial #EcoFriendlyFuneral #LoopBiotech #UKFuneral #FFMA #Certified #BiodegradableCoffin #FutureOfFunerals #RegenerativeDesign #Biodesign #Mushroom #Mycelium
