Living Cocoon

Living Cocoon

Though the speed at which a body composts generally depends on various conditions, experience shows that it can take over a decade, with synthetic clothing and the varnished and metal parts of a coffin delaying the process even further. Loop's Living Cocoon is a living coffin, made from mushroom mycelium, as a way to give human nutrients back to nature. The living cocoon helps the body ‘compost’ more efficiently while removing toxic substances and enriching the soil where new trees and plants can grow. 100% natural, the cocoon is grown in only seven days with only local materials and without the use of electricity or artificial light.
