Material
Future materials made out of mushroom, mycelium and agricultural waste.
Styrofoam, also known as expanded polystyrene (EPS) is lightweight and easily breaks into microplastics, which pollute ecosystems and are harmful to wildlife when ingested. Despite being technically recyclable, most recycling facilities do not accept styrofoam due to economic and logistical challenges, leading to widespread disposal issues.
Towards a plastic free future
Styrofoam's production and use involve chemicals like styrene, which can be harmful to human health through exposure during manufacturing or improper disposal. Its production relies on petroleum, a non-renewable resource, and emits greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change… Our mycelium-based products have several unique properties that give them to replace styrofoam, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene Foam), polyurethane, and glass wool used in packaging, construction and interior design.

Chemical-Free and Non-Toxic
Mycelium materials are naturally grown without the need for synthetic additives, chemical binders, or petroleum-based substances, resulting in products that are safe for human health and indoor air quality.
Reducing CO2
Compared to conventional materials, mycelium production is energy-efficient and generates low carbon emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option for eco-conscious industries.
Carbon Negative Raw Materials
We utilize carbon-negative agricultural waste in our production.
Fire Resistance
Mycelium materials have a naturally low flammability, which enhances their safety profile, especially in applications like building insulation and interiors.
Impact Resistance
Our material offers impact resistance, making them suitable for applications in packaging, insulation, and certain construction elements where some level of shock absorption is required.
Passive Manufacturing
Our products are produced with minimal external energy input, leveraging natural growth processes. This approach typically involves growing mycelium on agricultural waste or other substrates in controlled environments, allowing the material to naturally bind and form without the need for intensive processing or high-energy machinery.
Diverse Adaptability
Mycelium can be grown on various substrates, including agricultural and textile waste, and can be molded into different shapes and forms. This flexibility makes it an adaptable material that can be tailored to specific applications and design needs.
Biodegradable
Our products are made from mycelium (the root structure of fungi) and agricultural waste, they decompose naturally in the environment without leaving behind harmful residues. They break down into organic matter under natural conditions, even contributing to soil health.
Insulation
With low thermal conductivity, mycelium acts as an effective insulator, helping regulate temperatures and reduce energy costs in buildings. Mycelium forms a strong, interwoven matrix that provides significant structural integrity while remaining lightweight, making it suitable for insulation, furniture, and interior design applications.
Sound Absorption / Acoustic Performance
Mycelium’s porous structure gives it excellent sound-dampening properties, making it ideal for use in acoustic panels and interior architecture, reducing noise while maintaining a natural aesthetic.
