Founded in 2019 and incubated with SINE IIT-B, Roha BioTech is revolutionizing the protective packaging industry by developing mycelium-based biodegradable alternatives to EPS (thermocol) and plastic packaging. With India consuming an estimated 200,000–300,000 tons of EPS annually, Roha BioTech offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and customizable solution to tackle plastic waste. Supported by BIRAC funding, Roha BioTech has successfully validated its fire-resistant, water-repellent, and 100% compostable mycelium packaging with pilot clients and is now scaling up for mass production. As India’s $1.1 billion protective packaging market grows—driven by e-commerce (CAGR 19.24%), electronics (40%), and food & pharma industries—Roha BioTech positions itself as a leader in eco-friendly, zero-waste packaging solutions, aligning with global sustainability trends.
