Prototype of Biodegradable Packaging Material from Musm

Abstract

The intend of MUSM packaging materials is to produce alternative packaging which can replace or reduce the vast amount of using polystyrene or synthetic plastic. MUSM is from biobased materials such as plant and mushroom mycelia. The mycelia play a natural binder to make the shape of the fabric according to the mold. The biodegradation processed showed by 18 days, MUSM materials started for degradation in the soil.
