And this is what drives Eben Bayer crazy. Cofounder and CEO of Ecovative Design, Bayer is on a mission to replace all packaging foam with a new material made from agricultural byproducts and mushrooms.
Bayer and his cofounder invented Mycobond a patent-pending technology that uses a growing organism and byproducts from food production (oat hulls from New york, cotton hulls from Texas and rice hulls from Arkansas) to create a strong composite material.
The material is currently being used for shipping and insulating, but in the future you may see it on your TV or in your car.
I called Bayer Monday at his office in Green Island, NY. Excerpts of our conversation are below.
