In an effort to help reduce food packaging waste, non-alcoholic spirit company Seedlip is introducing a\u00a0Mycelium Gift Pack\u00a0wrapped in\u00a0biodegradable\u00a0mushroom packaging. Mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, creates a durable and sustainable packaging alternative for the upcoming holiday season. This fully bio-contributing material is also biodegradable, recyclable and compostable.<\/p>\n
The gift set includes a full-sized bottle of Seedlip Spice 94 (an aromatic non-alcoholic spirit), a highball glass made from 100% recycled material and a thyme seeded neck tag. The tag includes instructions to plant and grow your own herbs using the biodegradable\u00a0mushroom\u00a0box as a planter. Seedlip has partnered with the Magical Mushroom Company, a U.K.-based production plant specializing in manufacturing mycelium-based packaging and insulation, to bring the project to life. Presale for the set began on October 22 and is available now on\u00a0Seedlip\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to celebrating and protecting the natural world and our mushroom-based gift set progresses both our support of sustainable packaging as well as championing nature\u2019s ability to solve society\u2019s challenges,\u201d said Ben Branson, founder of Seedlip. \u201cMushrooms are nature\u2019s recycling system and we\u2019re very proud to be working with them.\u201d Seedlip Spice 94, featured in the gift set, is an aromatic blend of Jamaican allspice berries, grapefruit, lemon and cardamom that gets its earthy bitterness from oak and cascarilla tree barks. Seedlip offers\u00a0beverage\u00a0recipes on its website that incorporate the non-alcoholic spirit.<\/p>\n
The mycelium used to make the gift box paper plays a critical role in\u00a0nature\u00a0by breaking down debris on the forest floor. Seedlip\u2019s packaging can mimic this process as a compostable material in your compost bin. This helps make mycelium a great alternative to plastic packaging. According to Seedlip, the Magical Mushroom packaging is just as strong as conventional\u00a0plastic\u00a0foams but doesn\u2019t contribute to landfill or ocean pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
