The inventor of this mushroom coffin explains how he’s thinking outside the box of burial options
Dutch inventor Bob Hendrikx is thinking outside the box – literally – when it comes burial options. The 32-year-old is the founder of Loop Biotech, a company that produces biodegradable mushroom coffins. They’re being billed as “living coffins” - an environmentally friendly alternative to their wooden counterparts that helps fertilize soil as they decompose.
