Here’s a recap of our recent visit #SANKALP BHARATH organised by Sankalp Forum , where we had the opportunity to connect with a vibrant community of innovators and changemakers in the sustainability sector. and made a few collabs to make mycelium reach mass markets faster. Our Journey Update: Roha Biotech is at a transformative juncture, evolving from a pilot-stage venture into a full-fledged mycelium packaging manufacturing factory. With primary focus on material development, decentralized production processes, and cutting-edge protective packaging designs to deliver high-performance, low-carbon, mycelium-based alternatives to conventional foam (EPS/XPS) packaging. Special Mentions: Built a foundation to rapidly move from concept to commercial-scale manufacturing. UNIDO Facility for Low Carbon Technology Deployment (FLCTD) has been instrumental in validating our technology demonstration across multiple sectors like automotive, personal care, and FMCG—proving that mycelium really is a superior certified biodegradable alternative to thermocol. Intellecap support is propelling us forward for a greater journey. In Our current work we are providing irresistible value to our clients by ✓ Developing 360° tested packaging designs. ✓ Manufacturing packaging with efficiency at scales. ✓Delivering certified biodegradable protective packaging with transparent carbon footprint data> ✓All along creating a state-of-the-art mycelium production platform and mycelium cell factory. #Mycelium #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #GreenPackaging #ClimateTech #Entrepreneurs #ClimateAction

"🍄 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 – 𝐑𝐨𝐡𝐚 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡’𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚! 🌍" 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜? 🤔 Yep, you heard that right! Roha biotech has figured out how to use mushrooms to make eco-friendly packaging. It’s strong, safe, and disappears back into nature – unlike plastic, which sticks around for hundreds of years. 🛑🌱 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭? 🤓 Here’s the simple process: 🌿 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐲𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐦: Mycelium is the root-like part of mushrooms. Roha Biotech grows it using leftover farming waste. 🧩 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐈𝐭: They grow the mycelium into moulds to create packaging like boxes or containers. 🔥 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐭: They heat the material to stop it growing, making it strong and ready to use. The result? Packaging that works like plastic but breaks down in weeks, not centuries! ⏳✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞? 🌟 🌳 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: It decomposes naturally and even helps the soil. ♻️ 𝐍𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞: It uses farming leftovers to make something useful. 🌊 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: It helps stop plastic from ruining our oceans and landfills. 𝐑𝐨𝐡𝐚’𝐬 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 💭 Roha Biotech doesn’t just want to make better packaging – they want to help create a world where everything we throw away goes back to nature. Imagine a future with no waste – just mushrooms doing their thing! 🍄💪 Tell everyone about Roha Biotech’s mushroom magic! Visit Roha Biotech’s website (https://roha.bio/) to learn more or share their story. 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐚 – they’re saving the planet, one package at a time! 🍕➡️🌍 #SustainablePackaging #EcoInnovation #PlasticFree #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste

🌟 Exciting Day at CIIC's 4th Mega Demo Day! 🌟 I had the incredible opportunity to attend the CIIC 4th Mega Demo Day, where over 100 innovative startups showcased their ideas and solutions! It was inspiring to see so many young founders passionately working on products aimed at making a difference. I had the privilege to dive into conversations with some incredible startups focused on sustainable solutions. Each one showcased visionary ideas, and I’m thrilled to highlight a few that caught my attention: ◾luay agro – Tackling waste and sustainability head-on, Luay Agro transforms leather shavings into nutrient-rich animal feed supplements, promoting a circular economy and offering farmers an eco-friendly solution to boost animal health. 🌱🐄 ◾Roha – Revolutionizing packaging with mycelium! Roha’s mycelium-based packaging combines agricultural waste with mushroom mycelium to create materials that are fire-resistant, water-resistant, and biodegradable. This solution offers a powerful, sustainable alternative to traditional packaging. 🍄📦 ◾EETA – Using a unique “waste-to-protein” approach, EETA repurposes waste to produce sustainable proteins through larvae. They’re tackling food waste while providing a sustainable protein source that supports eco-friendly feed and food applications. ♻️🐛 ◾Strung – Introducing cellulose-based “leather” as a sustainable alternative! Strung’s innovative material maintains the durability and aesthetics of leather but is produced sustainably from cellulose, addressing environmental and ethical concerns in the fashion industry. 🧬👞 ◾Orileys – Elevating plant-based indulgence with their delicious, plant-based chocolates! Orileys creates creamy, guilt-free chocolates from sustainable ingredients, proving that ethical and enjoyable can absolutely go hand in hand. 🍫🌱 ◾Speak of the devil - They introduce home appliances with temperature enhancement, smart and comfort products🌡️✨ Seeing these startups at the forefront of sustainability and innovation was inspiring. A huge thanks to Crescent Innovation and Incubation Council (CIIC) for organizing such an impactful event, and special thanks to Rubika Panneerselvam for inviting us. Kudos to all the founders, CIIC, and the investors for creating such a vibrant space for growth and networking!🚀🌍 #CIICDemoDay | #Sustainability |#Innovation | #Startups | #CircularEconomy #Networking | #Startupshowcase #CIICMegaDemoDay | #Innovation | #SustainableProducts | #FutureOfTech |#Entrepreneurship| strung | Roha biotech | EETA Sustainable Solutions

MycoBlox are light-weight, load-bearing, stackable blocks made from mycelium, the roots of mushrooms. The blocks are designed to form a freestanding wall and column system. The subtracted volume, shaped like a cross-vault, promotes mycelium growth and allows for effective load transfer and introduces porosity into the wall system. The staggered interlocking geometry further optimizes strength. Team : Roha biotech Suyash Sawant Bhakti V Loonawat Image copyrights : Roha biotech & ANOMALIA
