GREEN ISLAND – Textile innovator Ecovative has acquired a mushroom spawn production facility in the Netherlands as it looks to expand manufacturing capacity for its mycelium-based, leather alternative materials.
Ecovative says it has the world’s “most complete mycelium library in the world” and can tweak the materials properties depending on its client’s requirements.
“This acquisition positions our company to ensure the highest quality of feedstock for a wide range of new mycelium materials, enabling the best possible products and the capacity to supply our quickly growing global network of customers and licensees as they continue to expand over the coming years,” said Ecovative’s co-founder and CEO, Eben Bayer.
