The high consuming, disposable culture brought on by the Industrial Revolution has led to the fast production of non-renewable composite materials such as plastics, which are now a significant part of landfills and oceans. As a result, interest in biomaterials for industrial applications is growing fast and mycelium is one the most studied one. | The high consuming, disposable culture brought on by the Industrial Revolution has led to the fast production of non-renewable composite materials such as plastics, which are now a significant part of landfills and oceans.
