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.
