This coffin is made of mushrooms!

This “coffin” is made from mushrooms—let me explain.

Traditional coffins require large amounts of wood, are often treated with toxic chemicals, and can take decades to break down. But there’s now a very different approach.

Meet the Loop coffin: a living, eco-friendly alternative made from hemp and mycelium (mushroom roots). Instead of polluting the earth, it works with nature’s own recycling system.

It takes just a week to grow and around 45 days to fully biodegrade, returning back to the soil and supporting new life. A striking example of how even end-of-life practices are being reimagined through sustainability.
