Ikea plans to use packaging made with mushrooms as an eco-friendly replacement for polystyrene, the Swedish retail giant has revealed.
瑞典家居用品巨头宜家家居日前表示,宜家计划用蘑菇制成的环保包装材料代替聚苯乙烯。
The flat-pack furniture retailer is looking at using the biodegradable "fungi packaging" as part of its efforts to reduce waste and increase recycling, Joanna Yarrow, head of sustainability for Ikea in the UK said.
宜家英国区可持续发展部部长乔安娜·亚罗表示,作为平板包装的家具零售商,宜家正考虑使用生物可降解的“蘑菇包装材料”,以减少资源浪费、促进资源再利用。
"We are looking for innovative alternatives to materials, such as replacing our polystyrene packaging with mycelium - fungi packaging," she said.
乔安娜说:“我们正在寻觅创新材料替代现有包装材料,比如用菌丝体这样的菌类材料来替代聚苯乙烯材料。”
Mycelium is the part of a fungus that grows in a mass of branched fibres, attaching to the soil or whatever it is growing on – in effect, mushroom roots.
菌丝体由大量纤细管状菌丝构成,植根于土壤等菌根中。
US firm Ecovative developed the product, which it calls Mushroom Packaging, by letting the mycelium grow around clean agricultural waste, such as corn stalks or husks.
