“Nature has evolved over billions of years, developing natural systems and processes which we should be learning from.” Polystyrene takes around 500 years to break down. This means that every piece of it that has been produced still exists today, and once discarded, ends up in landfill or contributing to the pollution of our waterways and oceans 🌊 UK firm Magical Mushroom Company® has replicated the strength and versatility of polystyrene using mycelium, the underground threads of fungi from which mushrooms fruit 🍄 By taking mycelium and combining it with agricultural by-products, the company can ‘grow’ packaging of any size or shape. Magical Mushroom Company was one of the RE:TV contributors featured in the Sustainable Markets Initiative's 2023 Impact Report, which highlights innovations that demonstrate how the private sector is accelerating the transition to a circular future.

🌍 Embracing the Organic Revolution of 2030: My Vision for a 100% Organic World 🌱 As we look ahead to 2030, it’s clear that the world needs a transformation — not just incremental change, but a complete shift towards a sustainable, 100% organic future. My vision is bold: a global economy where every product, every method of production, and every industry operates in harmony with nature, powered by innovative solutions like Seshat’s Certified Organic Diamond Composites and advanced aeroponic systems. Key Pillars of the Organic Revolution: • Integrating Hemp into the Global Economy: From food and medicine to advanced materials and renewable energy, hemp will replace synthetic and harmful alternatives across industries. • Transforming Agriculture: My fully autonomous aeroponic systems, powered by renewable energy, will revolutionize food production, urban farming, and disaster relief, providing sustainable, organic solutions without synthetic chemicals. • Building a New Organic Civilization: The New Pyramids Project will use Diamond Composites to create self-sustaining, closed-loop ecosystems that serve as hubs for research, education, and sustainable living. • Global Advocacy: I’ve authored the Universal Declaration of Organic Rights, aiming for its adoption by the United Nations to make non-organic practices a thing of the past. We have the technology, the expertise, and the commitment. Now it’s time to take action. Together, we can build a world where sustainability is the norm, and every product and service is certified organic by international standards. 🚀 The future is organic — let’s make it happen! Join me in the movement towards a 100% organic world. 🌱💚 #OrganicRevolution #Sustainability #Innovation #HempEconomy #Aeroponics #DiamondComposites #2030Vision #ClimateAction #OrganicLiving #LGBTQAdvocacy #FutureOfFood

The Washington Post just posted an article about "mushrooms as the darling of sustainability" and showcased various industrial applications of fungi. Among other, they showcased the pioneering work of our friends on MycoWorks with philip ross, and Ecovative - the mycelium technology company, both paving the way for fungal applications for a more sustainable trajectory. It was also mentioned how scientific researchers are "pioneering new ways for fungi to better manage environmental problems such as transforming food waste into novel edible materials, eliminating toxins like heavy metals at contamination sites, devouring plastic pollution, or improving soil as an impressive organic fertilizer". I caught one new solution that was new to me - PACT Outdoors makes kits for backpackers with mycelium tablets that breaks down 💩 quickly, killing bacteria that can disturb ecosystems. The usecases of mycelium and fungi are - endless! https://lnkd.in/diZPyqYY #Fungi #Mycelium #Biotechnology #Pioneeers #NewFuture

Innovative food technology is spearheading the movement towards a more sustainable planet by dramatically reducing waste and significantly lowering carbon emissions. By embracing pioneering solutions such as lab-cultivated meats, vertical agriculture, and eco-friendly packaging, we are making substantial contributions to a healthier environment. These technological advancements not only minimize the environmental impact of food production but also enhance resource efficiency and conservation. For instance, lab-grown meat, which is developed from animal cells in controlled environments, has the potential to reduce agricultural emissions by up to 96% compared to conventional livestock farming, according to several scientific studies. This method requires less land and water and generates fewer greenhouse gases, making it a promising alternative to traditional meat production. Moreover, vertical farming, which involves growing crops in stacked layers often integrated into urban settings, maximizes space utilization and dramatically decreases the necessity for pesticides and extensive land use. By producing food closer to urban centers, this method also cuts down on transportation emissions and ensures fresher produce. Biodegradable packaging solutions, made from materials such as plant-based plastics and recycled paper, further contribute to sustainability by reducing the reliance on conventional plastics, which are a major pollutant. These packaging innovations decompose more rapidly, lessening their impact on landfills and oceans. By harnessing these revolutionary technologies, we are charting a course towards a future where food systems are more resilient, adaptable, and environmentally friendly. Together, we possess the ability to create a lasting and sustainable impact on our world, ensuring a healthier planet for generations to come. 🌍🥦 #FoodTechRevolution #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture

Retailers want to know how to support emerging brands? Give them opportunities to win. Retailers want to know how to help support brands building ethical supply chains? Give them opportunities to win. Retailers want to build authenticity and diversity in to their store set? Give smaller brands a chance to win. Retailers want to know how to attract more innovation? Give it an opportunity to win. Kudos to Sprouts Farmers Market for the work they are doing with the innovation set. They are playing a different game and giving brands an opportunity to win. Something the traditional model of launching in stores will never do. The real work is just beginning, but when you're actually given an opportunity to win in the first place, the real work becomes a fair fight instead of a lopsided one from the start. How can you, as a consumer, support emerging brands, ethical supply chains, small producers, and small farmers? You go to your local Sprouts and buy products like this from sets like this. https://lnkd.in/dzYH6Xkf
Big News!! 🎉 Our Planet Friendly Oats are at a Sprouts store near you! Certified Regenerative Organic, third party tested to be Glyphosate free, they’re create to nourish both you and the planet!
