  • A handful of startups in the U.S., Europe and Asia are helping the seafood industry fight plastic pollution by creating equipment made from fungi.
  • Efforts are currently focused on replacing plastic foam, a polluting component of numerous elements of the seafood supply chain, with mycelium, the root-like structure of fungi.
  • A company in Maine makes mycelium-based buoys for the aquaculture industry, for example.
  • Elsewhere, projects are seeking to create biodegradable mycelium-based coolers for transporting fish.
