flag Belgian startup Permafungi makes biodegradable packaging from mushrooms, backed by €3M funding and solar power, aiming for €3M revenue by 2028.

flag Belgian start-up Permafungi is producing biodegradable packaging from mushroom mycelium in a new Brussels factory, using recycled waste like sawdust and coffee grounds. flag The process, powered by solar energy and recycled rainwater, creates custom packaging without petrochemicals or high heat, aligning with EU goals for recyclable packaging by 2030. flag The company has secured 3 million euros in funding and partners with luxury brands, aiming for 3 million euros in revenue within three years. flag Despite challenges in scaling and competing with low-cost plastics, the project supports urban reindustrialization near a former Audi plant and reflects a growing European trend toward sustainable biomaterials.
