perma fungi

LumiFungi large biodegradable lamp; First 100% biodegradable Belgian light, handcrafted in a circular economy!

Zero waste – Craftsmanship  – Made in Belgium

PermaFungi is a hybrid project, part the growing of oyster mushrooms from upcycled coffee grounds, part plus mycelium to create a material that can replace plastic. Aka the myco material.

Myco material generates ten times less carbon dioxide (CO2) and uses about eight times less energy than the production of polystyrene foam.

Made by hand and without artificial processes, the mushroom material remains completely natural. Its qualities in terms of strength, impermeability and fire resistance are interesting for creating quality products, and they can be composted.

The potential applications include product design, thermal insulation, and packaging.
