Sustainable 'Mushroom Coffins' Grow in Popularity as Eco-Friendly Burial Option

Dutch startup Loop Biotech produces biodegradable coffins and urns made from mycelium and hemp fiber that decompose in just 6 weeks.
The coffins and urns nurture new plant life as they biodegrade and are partnering with protected nature parks for burial.
Loop Biotech can currently produce 500 coffins or urns per month and are shipping across Europe, gaining popularity in environmentally-conscious Northern European countries.
The mushroom coffins offer an alternative to traditional wooden coffins that can take years to break down.
Loop Biotech also produces an urn that can be buried with a sapling, allowing the ashes to provide nutrients for a new tree.
