Environmental Stewards

Environmental stewardship is at the heart of Ecovative’s work and culture. As we work to reduce industry’s impact on the planet, we mark each Earth Day by picking up litter around our home of Green Island, New York. Sustainability clubs, engagement with local conservation groups, paid volunteer days, and more are examples of our commitment to protecting Spaceship Earth.

Ecovative is leading the way to a future beyond plastic pollution, and our scientists are at the cutting edge of mycelium innovation. Nature is the ultimate inventor, creating the most advanced technologies in the known universe, which we apply to new biology-based materials and products. It offers the constant excitement of discovery, helping us attract and keep brilliant problem solvers and innovators to our growing team.
