moment.

Echo’s out, Eco’s in

Two students from Varna, Bulgaria, who looked at a plastic food container and asked: what if the packaging was made from the very food inside it?

Mycelium Solution

Mycelium — the underground network of fungi — is one of nature’s most powerful materials. We’re learning to grow packaging from it, turning biology into a solution. Grown, not made.

Backed by investors. Built by students.

At the Teenovator 7 Final — Bulgaria’s largest high school startup competition — MycoBox was presented in front of a jury of investors and business leaders from across the country. The team walked away with an investment to continue developing their idea, proving that sustainable innovation doesn’t wait for a university degree.

Our Vision

Planet first, comfort also

Millions of plastic packages are thrown away every day, polluting oceans and harming wildlife. 

We believe packaging should return not only safely to nature, but benefit it.

MycoBox focuses both on Earth's future and your comfort.
