Ecovative Design
Ecovative Design LLC is a medium size, biomaterials company headquartered in Green Island, New York that provides sustainable alternatives to plastics and polystyrene foams for packaging, building materials and other applications by using mushroom technology.
==History==
Ecovative is developed from a university project of founders Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre. In their Inventor's Studio course at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute taught by Burt Swersey, Eben and Gavin developed and then patented a method of growing a mushroom-based insulation, initially called Greensulate before founding Ecovative Design in 2007. In 2007 they were awarded $16,000 from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCIIA: Promoting Student Inventors )〕
Since 2008, when they were awarded $700,000 first place in the Picnic Green Challenge the company has developed and commercialized production of a protective packaging called EcoCradle that is now used by Dell, Puma SE, and Steelcase. In 2010 they were awarded $180,000 from the National Science Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mushroom-Based Packaging Uses 98% Less Energy than Styrofoam )〕 and in 2011 the company received investment from 3M New Ventures, The DOEN Foundation, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute allowing them to double their current staff of 25.〔
In spring 2012, Ecovative Design opened a new production facility and announced a partnership with Sealed Air to expand production of the packaging materials. In 2014 their material was used in a brick form in 'Hy-Fi', a tower displayed in New York by the Museum of Modern Art and they started selling 'grow-it-yourself' kits.〔
