Using mushrooms and their root systems as raw material for packaging is an innovative approach to reducing our dependency on plastics. Watch the TED talk by Ecovative Design co-founder Eben Bayer to learn more about this approach.

Tomorrow Machine is a Swedish design studio based in Stockholm & Paris, specialising in packaging, product and food concepts. 

One of their projects, titled "This Too Shall Pass" is a series of sustainable packaging materials designed to last as long as their contents. Their oil package (pictured above) is made with carmelised sugar and is made to crack like an egg.
