Manufacture of furniture and building materials from waste and mushrooms
Today, Russia generates from 4 million to 6 million tons of plastic waste per year. Current sorting and processing capacities allow us to allocate no more than 12% of waste suitable for recycling and further use in the production of finished products. The rest of the waste, including cellulose-containing composite, is burned or buried in the soil, causing irreparable harm to the planet. By 2030, according to Vladimir Putin's instructions, it will be necessary to involve at least 25% of raw materials in secondary turnover. However, multicomponent waste is not used as a secondary raw material base. We intend to change that. SPAWN is the first company in the world to invent a technology for recycling this type of garbage. In addition to problems with recycling, there is now a shortage of environmentally friendly products on the market. Consumers are interested in functional, affordable, eco-friendly products, and for manufacturers such a request often becomes an unsolvable problem. Our recycling technology involves growing products from waste. We produce furniture, souvenirs, functional products and even building materials from waste using unique biotechnology. First, we grind the garbage, then add mushrooms to it and get a substance similar to mashed potatoes. Next, the mashed potatoes are put into the shape of the finished product. It can be a table, a chair, a candle holder and much more. And after 5 days, the mushroom grows, takes the necessary shape, and we get the finished product, which goes on sale. We can not only recycle the garbage polluting the planet, but also immediately make products from it, which are now made of plastic and wood. Thus, SPAWN not only reduces the amount of garbage in landfills, but also gives the market an environmentally friendly, cost-effective material. We replace wood, replace plastic – because our material is 2-7 times cheaper, more environmentally friendly and not inferior in its properties. One production cycle means two solved problems. One technology is saving the planet from garbage and saving its resources.

Technologies for the healthy environment
We plan to expand the geography of production in Russia within 2 years.
Today, SPAWN operates in Russia, in St. Petersburg. Negotiations are underway regarding our expansion in the Sakhalin Region and the Trans-Baikal Territory. After establishing a production network in Russia, we plan to expand to India, Vietnam, Europe, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia.
Our competitors in terms of product are large furniture manufacturers and stores such as Hoff. The advantage of our furniture is that it is 2-7 times cheaper than analogues made of plastic and / or wood. Construction heat and sound insulation materials made using our technology are obtained 2 times cheaper than analogues. In modern conditions, when it is important to replace imported materials with domestic ones, this is especially important. From the point of view of recycling, our competitors are landfills. These are polluting water, air, soil, landfills. Compared to them, we are 5-32 times more environmentally friendly. Using our garbage collection service, companies do not spend extra money, and at the same time, they dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Our technology allows us not only to benefit from the sale of furniture, souvenirs and building materials, but also to reduce the amount of garbage on the planet.
The project was publicly presented to Vladimir Putin in 2023. SPAWN is a member of Skolkovo. The project director is a finalist of the Russia Country of Opportunities award "people are changing the country - ecology", with the SPAWN project, 2024. SPAWN is included in the TOP-10 ideas of 2023 from "Strong Ideas for a new Time" - Agency for Strategic Initiatives. Media publications: 1.
