The creators of innovative technology for recycling waste using mushroom mycelium have opened the first production site in the Northern capital. They will begin mass production of eco-products. It is worth noting that the innovation is based on specially selected strains of mushrooms. FederalPress tells what kind of technology this is and what other St. Petersburg inventions have changed life for the better.
How things are made from garbage-eating mushrooms:
Head of the Committee for Natural Resources, Environmental Protection and Environmental Safety of St. Petersburg Kirill Soloveitchik in his Telegram channel he clarified that with the help of specially selected strains of mushrooms, furniture and interior solutions are “grown” at the enterprise from contaminated waste plastic and paper.
The finished product can be received in just five days. Its strength is the same as that of analogues made of wood and plastic. In addition, it is profitable to make such furniture. Its cost is 2–7 times cheaper than standard consumer products.
The city will soon begin a pilot project to recycle contaminated paper. Now such raw materials are almost not in demand in the secondary resources market. By the end of the year, production plans to process eight tons of waste per month.

What was invented in St. Petersburg to increase the harvest:
Scientists from the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University “LETI” about two years ago introduced an LED phytolamp, which helps to increase the yield of vegetables and herbs. The development selects parameters for automatic processing of various types of plants, the researchers explain.
With the help of the invention, it has already been possible to increase the yield of lettuce by 60%. The lamp can also recognize the appearance of a person in the work area – after which the lighting is adjusted to an eye-safe mode.
Researchers are planning technology testing directly in greenhouses.
How people in St. Petersburg learned to treat fractures more effectively:
Some time ago, a new clavicle implant was developed at the Northwestern Nanocenter of the Foundation for Infrastructure and Educational Programs. The company explained that the medical product is superior to analogues.
The new invention has a number of unique functions: it surpasses analogues in strength and eliminates fractures. In addition, titanium alloy and additive technologies ensure the lightness of the endoprosthesis. Hinged joints prevent loosening and also allow you to quickly restore the functions of the shoulder girdle.
The company added that already two months after the operation patients will be able to cope with standard household activities.
