S2 Ep 8: How Ecovative is Solving Sustainability Through Mushrooms

What happens when plastic, meat and leather become unsustainable to produce? You up-cycle from natural growing products like mushrooms, using cutting-edge mycelium technology.

Eben Bayer is CEO of Ecovative, the biotechnology company, pioneering the art and science of growing complete structures with mycelium.

Nick and Eben get into how a small mushroom sample can create whole sheets of tissue, why Ecovative is growing bacon, and how the business interacts with other industries such as fashion and retail.
