Project Papershredder

Project Papershredder is now underway.

This is an experiment to convert waste paper products into edible mushrooms and compostable materials.

Problem Description: Paper recycling is not offered in many areas and most paper recycling does not handle soiled materials like pizza boxes, paper towels, and other paper surfaces which have come in contact with food, nor waxed boxes such as are often found with produce. Soiled paper materials cannot go directly into the compost bin as they do not decompose quickly.

Proposed Solution: Use an aggressive wood decomposing fungal strain to decompose cellulose into compostable materials and produce edible mushrooms.
