Packaging grown from nature. Built for business.

Naturally Genius makes high-performance protective packaging from mycelium and agricultural waste. It’s protective, scalable, home-compostable and designed to work with existing moulding equipment. Serious packaging performance, without the polystyrene problem.

Built to protect.
Grown to disappear.

We use mycelium and agricultural waste to create high-performance protective packaging without the end-of-life problems of conventional plastic foam.

High performance

Our material naturally delivers impact protection, thermal insulation, sound dampening and structural support, with added water resistance and fire retardancy.

Grown from waste

We grow mycelium on agricultural waste, turning low-value by-products into high-performance packaging.

Home compostable

Breaks down completely in your home compost or garden within months, returning nutrients to the soil without leaving microplastics behind.

What we're doing

Design

We design packaging around your product, performance requirements and manufacturing process. Your product, our expertise.

Manufacture

Replacing existing packaging or starting from scratch, we’ve got you covered. Our material works with standard moulding equipment and established supply chains.

Supply

Buy finished packaging from us, or buy the pellets and mould them yourself using existing equipment.

Why we're doing it

Every day, the world uses enough EPS packaging to fill more than 150 Olympic swimming pools. It protects products brilliantly, but it’s difficult to recycle and can persist in the environment for centuries. We’re here to change that.
