Innovative Biomaterials from Fungi: A Conversation with MadeRight Founders at MassChallenge Israel

Do you know that fungi can be used to produce innovative biomaterials that are superior to conventional plastics?

It was a pleasure for Arun Pandit, co-founder of Hyphen SCS, to speak with and learn about the innovations of Yotam David and Rotem Cahanovitc, founders of MadeRight, while serving as a representative of Hyphen SCS at MassChallenge Israel.

Currently, oil refineries are sustaining a dying fossil economy; soon, however, bio-refineries will do the same for a thriving bioeconomy.

MadeRight is here to usher in a new era of environmentally friendly materials that offer top-tier performance and biodegrade back into the environment once their function has been served.

They use fungi, nature's largest recycler, to create cutting-edge performance materials using a holistic approach.
They combine fungi and organic waste to produce novel biomaterials that are biodegradable.

Their first material will be a sustainable alternative to plastic, suitable for rigid packaging.
