For the next generation

25/02/2026

Almost everything surrounding death is designed to last forever.
A curious design decision.

Our bodies are meant to return to nature.

We cut down trees.
Ship them across the world.
Treat them with chemicals.
Seal them beneath the ground.

There is another way.

We design coffins and urns made from mushrooms.
Grown in the Netherlands in just seven days.
Back to nature.
Nourishing the soil.

We are grateful to have already supported more than 3,500 families.

It is beginning to feel less like innovation,
and more like simple logic.

Perhaps it is time for our final act to no longer burden the earth,
but to contribute to it.

That is our mission

Let us enrich nature.

Even after death.

Gemma’s Mushroom Cocoon was hand-painted by her family using biodegradable paint. During the ceremony, family and friends added their handprints, turning the farewell into a deeply personal and shared moment of remembrance. The Cocoon became a loving tribute to Gemma.

We are grateful to the family for allowing us to share these images and inspire more humans towards a positive final footprint. 🕊️

That moment when you LAUNCH THE MUSHROOM CASKET IN THE USA! 🇺🇸🍄 What a wild and beautiful ride it’s been. From The Wall Street Journal to RTL Nieuws, from the first burial in Maine, to filming in New York City, all the way to San Francisco in just four days.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the love and support. And we’re incredibly proud to finally say YES to all the requests coming in from the U.S. 🙏🏻

Huge thanks to our team, investors, and all our new funeral partners for making this moment possible. Together, we’re turning funerals into a force for good. Because why pollute the Earth when you die, when you can enrich it instead?

Curious to collaborate, learn more, or offer our products in the U.S.? Reach out via [email protected] or visit our website.

Let’s make a positive footprint the new norm. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️

He’s here! We’re incredibly grateful and excited to welcome Atlas Sequoia Hendrikx into our family! Mom and Atlas are both happy and healthy, even well enough to join our first family interview at the facility with .eu and .

Atlas decided to arrive right in the middle of Loop Biotech’s funding round, because apparently our lives weren’t adventurous enough already! A huge shoutout and endless admiration to my life and business partner who has managed pregnancy, running a fast growing scale-up, ánd fundraising simultaneously. Our true champion! 🍄

His name symbolizes our deep-rooted personal commitment to enriching our planet. The values we also live by daily at Loop Biotech. Holding our newborn in the same space where we grow mushroom coffins felt like the full cycle of life in one room.

Thank you all for the ongoing support, we are feeling deeply loved and motivated. Let’s make it a great planet for baby Atlas and the next generations!

Vandaag staat onze missie groot in het AD! 🍄⚰️

“Paddenstoelenkist biedt nieuw leven” 🌱

Hoe kan het zo zijn dat we zelfs na de dood de aarde vervuilen? Dat moet toch anders kunnen zou je zeggen!?

Samen met Lonneke Hendrikx-Westhoff ontwikkelde we een uitvaart kist gegroeid van paddenstoelen: de Loop Living Cocoon™. Deze uitvaartkist lost -in de ideale condities- op in de bodem in slechts 45 dagen 🍄

Hier verrijkt het de bodem én worden wij weer onderdeel van de natuur. En ook niet onbelangrijk, het gehele productie proces vindt plaats in Nederland! 💪🏻🇳🇱

Een positieve laatste footprint. Het is een geen utopie, maar een feit. We zijn ontzettend trots dat we al meer dan 1500 mensen hebben mogen helpen 💚

Toch horen we nog vaak: ‘Had ik dit maar eerder geweten voor mijn ouders!’ Dat raakt ons, want we willen dat zoveel mogelijk mensen een bewuste keuze kunnen maken. Samen kunnen we voorkomen dat verhalen onvervuld blijven. Daarom een aantal manieren waarop we als LOOP-ers kunnen bijdragen:

1. Deel het met je geliefden ❤️: Bespreek je keuze voor onze duurzame uitvaartopties, zodat zij op de hoogte zijn van wat je echt wilt.

2. Uitvaartondernemers informeren 🌱: Ken je een uitvaartondernemer? Nodig ze uit voor onze gratis Factory Tour om onze producten en het unieke groeiproces te leren kennen.

3. Schenk jezelf en anderen rust met de Loop Voucher🥇: Door nu je keuze vast te leggen met de Loop Voucher, ontzorg je je dierbaren en profiteer je van korting op de Cocoon™. Vraag een gratis informatiepakket aan via info@loop-biotech, bel 06 21 36 16 71 of klik op de link in bio en maak samen met ons impact door de natuur te verrijken voor toekomstige generaties!

Heel veel dank voor de vele support die we al voor onze missie hebben mogen ontvangen, samen maken we dit de standaard! Hele fijne zaterdag gewenst! 🥐

💥 Our mushroom coffin recognized as leading Dutch Design! 💡

We are incredibly proud that the Loop Living Cocoon™ has been named an iconic example of leading Dutch Design by the Dutch Design Awards! This week, our vision of a greener farewell is showcased at MicroLab, Strijp-S in Eindhoven.

Over the past few years, we’ve been honored to be part of Dutch Design Week. It all started with the world’s first Living Home—a house grown from mushrooms, designed to be kept alive by its inhabitants. But everything changed when someone asked a simple, profound question:

“What happens if someone dies in your home?”

That question sparked the creation of our mushroom coffin, a beautiful harmony between the needs of humanity and the natural world—where even in death, we can nurture life.

From prototype to reality, we now offer a full commercial portfolio of living products that help enrich nature. Most importantly, we’ve already helped over 1500 people create a positive final footprint.

The power of design. Thank you, Dutch Design Week!
