Ecovative - the mycelium technology company

☎️LONDON BABY! I’m proud to announce that our mushroom coffin and urn are now available all over the UK!🚀 A small step across the ocean, a giant leap for achieving a positive final footprint. After getting our Loop Living Cocoon™ tested by the leading global quality control company Intertek, we received our official FFMA certification and immediately teamed up with local green funeral directors and distribution partners to ensure next-day delivery across the entire UK. Over the past years, we’ve received so many heartfelt requests from UK families wanting a more sustainable farewell for their loved ones. Until now, Brexit and customs challenges made it very difficult for our Loop Biotech team. But today, we’re beyond grateful that we can finally make it happen and that we’ve already been able to help our first UK families. 🙏 So, if you are in the UK and wish to leave a final positive footprint for yourself or your loved ones, this one is for you. Available now in the entire UK for natural burial, traditional burial and cremation. Ask your local funeral director for more information. Choose Nature. Choose the Mushroom Coffin. 🍄🌱 #SustainableFuneral #GreenFuneral #WoodlandBurial #Burial #MushroomCoffin #GreenBurial #EcoFriendlyFuneral #LoopBiotech #UKFuneral #FFMA #Certified #BiodegradableCoffin #FutureOfFunerals #RegenerativeDesign #Biodesign #Mushroom #Mycelium

🍄🥓🧳 ECOVATIVE RAISES $28M TO PROPEL MYBACON GROWTH & LAUNCH ECO-LEATHER To advance its food and fashion innovations, US mycelium startup Ecovative - the mycelium technology company has closed a $28M financing round featuring strategic investors and existing shareholders. The company behind brands like MyFOREST Foods , Forager, Mushroom® Packaging and Grow.bio, Ecovative has now raised $145M since 2019. It now plans to expand the production and distribution of MyBacon, and introduce an alt-leather material for jackets and accessories under the Forager brand. “The capital will be used to expand MyBacon from 600 to thousands of stores through 2025, providing the necessary working capital to support that growth,” Ecovative founder and CEO Eben Bayer told Green Queen. “We’ll also be launching Forager products with our customers, while onboarding new capacity to scale through 2026 and 2027.” Founded in 2007, Ecovative uses a proprietary AirMycelium technology to grow different strains of mushrooms for a variety of use cases. These are produced on an industrial scale in vertical farms, allowing it to grow three million sq ft of material annually on one acre of land. The latest investment comes amid growing VC interest in fermentation and mycelium. Alternative protein startups saw funding dip by 44% last year, but while plant-based companies have struggled to recover, and cultivated meat startups are on track to secure a similar amount of capital, in the first half of this year, fermentation players have already obtained 90% of the money they did in all of 2023.
