Ecovative's Eben Bayer at TED Global
Check it out: Eben Bayer's TED Global talk is online.
Bayer is one of the co-founders of Ecovative Design, a Green Island-based startup that uses fungi to produce eco-friendly replacements for styrofoam. His talk -- which he gave this past summer in Oxford, England -- covers the problem with styrofoam packaging and how mushrooms can be used to grow replacement material. There's video of Ecovative's manufacturing process.
Chitinous polymers. Hot.
Ecovative was recently named a "technology pioneer" by the World Economic Forum.
Bayer and Gavin McIntyre, both RPI grads, started Ecovative in 2007.
