About this material

Myceen creates biodegradable, carbon-negative materials using mycelium, the root system of fungi, to bind organic waste into durable, non-flammable, and sound-absorbing products. These materials offer a sustainable alternative to plastics and composites, promoting a circular economy.

By repurposing byproducts from the wood and paper industries, Myceen reduces waste while capturing and storing CO₂. The controlled drying process ensures that no spores or fruiting bodies form, making the materials safe for both humans and buildings. With a focus on innovation, Myceen aims to replace resource-intensive materials with mycelium-based solutions, contributing to a more sustainable and low-impact construction and design industry.
