Myceen

We are growing carbon-storing building materials combining mushroom mycelium and industrial by-products from wood and paper processing industries.

Furniture and design objects as our starting point allowed us to prove our ability to produce complex objects with mycelium materials. Next up are high-performing insulation and acoustic materials for the carbon-neutral construction industry. Made scaleable with fully automated production technology.

Sustainable material

• 1 kg of CO2

Stored per 1 kg of mycelium material

• 99% upcycled ingredients

No harmful chemicals used in the production process

• Biodegradable

After use, the material can become nutrients for nature

Nature’s intelligence enhanced by science and design

With over a billion years of experience, fungi are far more advanced than humans. Therefore, it is crucial to learn from them to improve our lives. Our multidisciplinary approach combines nature’s intelligence with science and design, allowing us to create a cleaner and more responsible environment and products.

Mycelium, the core component of our novel materials, is the underground root system of mushrooms. This decentralised organ of fungi allows us to grow biodegradable materials. These materials can replace problematic plastics and composites. Additionally, they add value to organic industrial byproducts. The rapid growth of mycelium makes it ideal for large-scale production of industrial materials.

Mycelium can bind loose matter into solid, high-performing, carbon-neutral materials.
