“I am probably the only architect who built the final home,” Bob Hendrikks said. Stuffy. Placing the tomb and catecambus aside, the handkerks may be the only person to make the ultimate home using mushrooms.
Handricax is the founder and CEO of Loop Biotech, a company that makes coasters from Meshelium, the root structure of the fibers of the mismoma. This June, the first burial in North America was to use one of a Loop Biotic Caskets in Mine.
“He always said he wanted to be buried bare in the jungle.”
Mushroom coffins provide people with another option to leave life gently, which is part of the growing row, considered to be a more sustainable alternative to traditional burial. Messeleum has spent a moment in recent years, making other environment designers make biodegradable packaging, leather and bricks.
Hendrikks began trying to create a “residential home” from Meshelium, a material that can be used to make itself a healing structure if the fibers continue to grow. While he was studying for architecture at the Delft University of Technology, he said that someone asked him what would happen if his grandmother had died in the house.

“It would be great, because it’s going to be so positive for the earth,” they remember responding and then thinking – “Oh my God, it should be a coffin.” The coffin of the mushroom became its graduation project, and the Hendrikks launched a loop biotech in the Netherlands in 2021.
This coffin, called the loop biotic “live cocoon” and sold for about $ 4,000, is fully made of Meshelium and can be added in seven days. According to the company, it can then fully biodegrades in about 45 days. It takes longer to take the body inside the body. In a common coffin, this body can be decades before completely swallowing. But since cookie can help break the dead organic matter, then a living cocoon decreases for two to three years.
“I personally hate the idea of the body found there on the ground,” says Marceia Inkkar, whose father, Mark Anchor, was laid to rest in a living cocoon in Mine in June. “I don’t want to lie down in the ground, but I’m glad to feed the plants by becoming a part of the soil.” He had heard about Loop Biotech in TED talk years ago and decided to call the company that day after coming to his father.

Marcia added, “He would have kicked a kick, from the fact that he was the first (buried in the alive cocoon).” His family does not lose any opportunity. Marcia described a famous picture of her father sitting on the Green Vox Wagon bus on the Wood stock, seeing the traffic jam with telescopes, immediately the birth of Marcia. Later and came home from the hospital. “There is no meaning in wasting both of their tickets,” says Marcia.
“He always said he wanted to be buried bare in the jungle,” Marsia says. “As a small person, he frightened me. I like, ‘But how would I miss you?’ … Thus he is buried barefoot in the jungle. ” The family planted a memorable garden in which some of Mark’s favorite Baramasis were buried on the land where it was buried. Loop Biotic says its mushroom coffin will help strengthen the bottom soil.
Marcia also gets chemicals used to destroy the “grass”. The desire to minimize waste and pollution is another reason why some people are turning away from standard peeps or burial.
According to the Green Burial Council, traditional burial in the United States uses about 4.3 million gallons of ambulating fluid, 20 million feet of hard wood, and 1.6 million tonnes of concrete.
The Green burial is part of the Council’s Board of Directors, Sam Bar says, the first living cocoon burial in the United States (which follows thousands of thousands of more using the Loop Biotic’s coffin in Europe), “Green burial is the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the Board of Energy,” Sam Bar says.
“Green” burial certainly does not need to add mushrooms. The Bar says it aims to mainly stimulate decomposition and use the natural material in a sustainable way. It can also be fulfilled using other materials that are easily broken like woven marine grass or bamboo. The bar says “Green is a spectrum.”
The architects, the handkerks, have also kept in mind the comfortable design with their living cocoon. In addition to potential environmental benefits, mushroom coffin is also soft to contact and is round, he points to it Stuffy. “So, instead of having a tough, doted coffin, you now have something that you can really embrace,” says Hendricks. “Which is really good for a sad process.”
