I agree. Its a very interesting topic indeed. I came across this article today which I found fascinating:
Wuhan General Group Secures Lab for Hemp and Mycelium Eco-Friendly Research & Development
CAPE TOWN, SA / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / WUHAN GENERAL GROUP, INC. (OTC PINK:WUHN) (“Wuhan” or the “Company”), a bioceutical company focused on alternative plant-based cannabinoids and psilocybin medical research is pleased to announce the following update:
The hemp and mycelium eco-friendly R&D division of M2Bio Sciences, has secured a laboratory facility near its Woodstock office in Cape Town, South Africa. This will enable the company to continue at greater scale the development of local, 100% bio-based, bio-sourced and biodegradable packaging solutions to replace single-use petroleum-based plastics.
The team of ambitious engineers and environmental scientists are developing and testing bio-based plastics from films to foams, including composites. They are using three-dimensional design and forming with hemp-infused PLA to create unique product molds for growing mycelium foam substitutes. The research will now be conducted in a dedicated eco-friendly lab, with a mission to achieve a zero-carbon footprint. Source
