Mykor UK ltd
About this brand
11% of worldwide carbon emissions come from building materials manufacturing. Mykor decarbonises the construction industry by developing carbon-negative materials.
The company’s proprietary thermal and acoustic insulation, feels and performs like foam but, unlike polystyrene, is completely renewable. The MykoSlab, utilises fungi network technologies to create a high thermal performance and fire resistant sheet that diverts cellulosic waste by-products from the paper industry from being incinerated.
Mykor insulation sequesters 22kg of CO2 per m3 and its manufacturing process utilises 90% less water and 40% less electricity than polystyrene. We have estimated that we will be able to repurpose 20,000 tonnes of waste on average each year.
