Scalable Mycelium-Based Packaging Solutions

Permafungi is an innovative start-up company specialized in the production of low-density, mycelium-based packaging materials. By growing fungal mycelium on locally sourced organic side-streams, the company creates tailor-made, fully compostable and high-performance protective packaging as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic and foam solutions.

Permafungi’s packaging solutions are designed for brands and manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining high protection standards for fragile and premium products. The materials are lightweight, renewable, and naturally biodegradable, supporting circular economy principles and low-carbon supply chains.

With the support of a recent EU grant, Permafungi is establishing a new production facility to expand its manufacturing capacity and industrialize its technology. To support this growth, the company is actively seeking commercial and R&D partners interested in co-developing, testing, and scaling innovative bio-based packaging lines.

Permafungi is open to partnerships with:

• Brands and manufacturers seeking sustainable packaging solutions
• Packaging distributors and logistics partners
• R&D organizations and material science experts
• Innovation-driven companies interested in co-development projects

Through strategic collaborations, Permafungi aims to accelerate the market adoption of mycelium-based materials and contribute to the transition towards climate-neutral and circular packaging systems.
