@@GeN56YoS it would be so far in the future that we weren't even using oil as our fuel anymore. Styrofoam is a derivative product of petroleum, meaning that as long as oil price remains relatively cheap as it's right now, so is styrofoam. It costs next to nothing to produce a sheet of styrofoam, probably several cents. Compare it to the effort and material used to procure wood dust, fungi spore, and set up suitable environment for the fungi, the number simply doesn't add up. But of course, for high value product like computer server or candle, people might be willing to spend that extra dollars. Not so for mass cheap consumer products though.

This is good. For anything "eco friendly" to become mainstream it must be either much cheaper than what it replaces or much better. If they keep the price down, they just might do that.

@MapleCakeTheLion

Yeah that's the point that caught my attention the most. The amount of cost-to-product they're getting from it, and their market price for the product will be the deciding factor. This is why people don't generally eat organic or buy eco-friendly products: Because they're usually substantially more expensive. Anywhere from 1.5-5x the cost depending on what product you are trying to get. If Organic food was half the cost, and eco friendly vehicles weren't a massive money sink, there would be no real argument against them (generally). But those problems haven't been solved yet, except here where we see people who understand that the cost will make or break their company.

​@@skitz0299 Well as with most manufacturing, product usually sits in warehouses, ports or at wholesale distributors for months to years waiting to be requested. Samsung for example don't manufacture and package your television to order and this packaging is going to start to rot after 30 days sitting on the docks lol. It's completely unfeasible. There is nothing wrong as it stands anyway with wood/paper pulp pressed (biodegradable in 1 year) packaging that most companies are starting to use now. The other big problem not addressed in this video is the molds. They try to play it off with the whole " this plastic is recyclable so we can reuse it and make another mold ". What they didn't mention is the fact that for every single piece of packaging you need an individual mold. Just for 1 type of 27" television which the company produces 12 million units of per year, you will need 1 million 27" television molds, because the process has to occupy that mold for a full 7-10 days. Current pressing or injection molding uses a SINGLE mold for a millisecond before the molded packaging is ejected and another is made in the exact same mold. In short if this was to become the normal thing then they would have to purchase and store BILLIONS of plastic molds because we produce 100's of billions of packaged products every year (can't find an exact figure but 380 Million Tonnes of plastic packaging). They would essentially be creating far more pollution then they would ever solve using this method of mold creation. In reality taking wood or paper pulp which is their starting material but simply grinding it down smaller and more fibrous then using tonnage to pressfit it into a mold takes a literal second to do, uses one mold, has more durability and takes less than 1 year to biodegrade in soil. it's a cool science experiment, but in terms or feasibility it has none when other ways are already existing that aren't so ludicrous. Small indi food trucks and that sort of thing that cater to 100 customers at lunch time could use it fine. Anything larger and it becomes a nightmare for both parties sadly.

Everyone knows that eggs are harmless and healthy, but when you see chemicals without knowing how those chemicals may effect you or how good they are, that's a problem. I get the point you're trying to make, but this doesn't work like that. Added chemicals are put in for texturing, flavoring, and color, eggs don't have added content for that. Last time I checked, chickens aren't putting in cancerous food dyes or artificial flavoring into their babys.

@@JohnPorsbjerg There's also the benefit in that you're _choosing_ what you like, in case the "large soulless corporation" is too damn stupid to follow the latest science, or know _why_ intelligent consumers would want to avoid certain things. (I say "large soulless corporation" because most corporations are essentailly "governmental, coercive decision-makers" now, but with "plausible deniability" added...) The fewer ingredients there are, the less you're mindlessly accepting some stupid person's decision about what constitutes proper diet. (Think about why corporations failed to switch from sugar to stevia for a good example of the "corporate lawyer" fear-governed mindset I'm criticizing here.) For example: I want to avoid gluten, because I don't want gliadin in my brain, nor to burn out my mitochondria with high-GI carbohydrates. I avoid sugar for the prior mitochondria reason, and to avoid developing metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. Nearly every single canned good or food product up and down several aisles of the grocery store is loaded with the prior, plus lots of "preservatives" that sometimes wind up in your liver or kidneys. There's a good reason to avoid nearly all of it. This wouldn't be the case if the food items simply contained "just what's necessary." I don't care about the color: I care about living longer and healthier. A long string of non-nutritive ingredients implies something about the lack of philosophy of the people creating those canned goods. It's for this reason that I want people like Eben Bayer to become multi-billionaires. We need smarter industry, and we can't have that with people whose philosophy is limited by government schooling. (I say this in spite of his comment, that is aligned with Frederick the Great's "All true wealth comes from nature." ...Frederick II was a somewhat enlightened despot, in spite of his birthing the ruinous practice of government-run schooling. For example, he financed the building of giant greenhouses so Prussia could rear silk moths, to try to become independent from the Asian silk trade...)

This is neat. I wonder what the price difference in packaging with Styrofoam vs mushroom is cause they only mentioned dell using it. Mushroom foods are cool replacement for meat based products if they are cheaper. I've tried some mushroom food that were suppose to be similar to meat products and they were pretty good. Mushroom burgers or sausage would be something interesting to design. But usually these specialty products are way over priced and catch on for a season and fall out.

Absolutely brilliant.

Most importantly, the processes to make this seem super easy to automate because it's literally just "mix wood chips, water and spores -> dump into molds -> put into storage for a week -> bake to kill the mycelium -> release finished product."
