MycoTEX shopper with light & NFC

MycoTEX shopper with light & NFC is developed thanks to a grant of the WEARsustain project. In this project we have improved the material in collaboration with Utrecht University and next to this we researched how to integrated electronic components in MycoTEX. The bag is our final result. It has lighting which responds to sound and an NFC chip directing you to this page.
