The World’s First Mushroom Coffin Reimagines Sustainable Burials

Loop Biotech introduces a nature-inspired approach to end-of-life care with the Loop Living Cocoon™, the world’s first mushroom coffin designed to enrich the natural environment. Made from local mushroom mycelium and upcycled hemp fibers, the product offers a biodegradable alternative that supports a more sustainable burial process.

Grown in Delft, the Netherlands, the Cocoon™ takes just seven days to produce. Under ideal conditions, it biodegrades within 45 days after burial, helping return organic materials to the earth while supporting soil biodiversity. The product is also certified for traditional burial, natural burial, and cremation.

Through its innovative use of mycelium, Loop Biotech aims to transform the concept of a final farewell into an opportunity to contribute to nature’s renewal. The company has already helped more than 3,500 families create a positive environmental legacy and continues to expand its reach across international markets, including the United States, Canada, and Germany.

By combining ecological awareness with forward-thinking product design, Loop Biotech presents a meaningful vision for sustainable end-of-life practices. Its groundbreaking Loop Living Cocoon™ has been recognized as a winner in the Product Design – Eco / Green category, celebrating its contribution to environmentally conscious design.
