More awards for Ecovative / Greensulate
21 June 2009 - Posted by Bert Aldridge - 0 Comments
It's great news that Ecovative Design is gaining more recognition while continuing to grow as a company. They've just recevied a Popular Science 2009 Invention Award that celebrates the coolness of their concept, and the quality of their products. Ecovative has developed Greensulate - an insulation product that combines waste biological material with mushroom mycelium to literally grow inert insualtion in 7-10 days. They're also working on Acorn - packaging that's made a similar way and is 100% compostable after use. Ecovative Design is a NextPlays case study; read more here, or visit their site.
