  Awards

  After a year working with Steelcase's test labs, third party facilities, and an expert in cotton gin mill plant byproducts, Ecovative developed a blend of Mushroom Packaging that could replace EPP (expanded polypropylene) packaging in vibration and drop testing. When Steelcase conducted additional testing for extreme temperatures and moisture exposure, Ecovative exceeded the required standards. Based on these impressive test results, Steelcase began replacing molded and fabricated EPP parts with Mushroom^® Packaging for ready-to-assemble office furniture. This groundbreaking solution was honored with the highest accolades in the packaging industry: The Dupont Diamond Award and the Greener Package Innovator of the Year Award.

  Dell Server Multi Pack

  Dell has been leading the electronics industry in sustainability and is now recognized in the marketplace for environmentally responsible packaging. Ecovative designed Mushroom^® Packaging components to replace fabricated EPE- polyethylene foam parts that provide cushioning and bracing in large packages for Dell servers. These packages tip the scales at over 200 lbs, and these sensitive servers require the utmost protection. Ecovative's packaging design team worked with Dell's packaging engineers to create geometries that would protect the hard drives from experiencing damaging G loads in the event of a drop.

  Crate & Barrel

  Crate & Barrel started on the path to eliminate foam in 2001, when they discontinued the use of petroleum-based packing peanuts to protect customer purchases. Since then, they have been working hard to phase out all plastic foam packaging. In accordance with their goal, Crate & Barrel sought a fully compostable packaging solution to protect their American-made steel bookcases. Since beginning their use of Mushroom Packaging corner blocks, Crate & Barrel has reported no damages. Customers can reuse the standard corner blocks, or compost them at home.
