Mycelium Foam

Kineco operates in the bio-based materials sector and supports the circular economy. The company grows sustainable mycelium materials using mushroom technology, producing mycelium from organic materials at its own mushroom farm in the Netherlands.

The foam is made from 100% mycelium, cultivated from aerial mycelium – the filamentous hyphae of fungi. It grows on an organic substrate primarily composed of straw-derived biofibres. The resulting material is a lightweight foam with natural structural stability and cushioning performance.

Cultivation takes place in controlled environments without synthetic binders, additives, or petrochemical components. Kineco’s Mycelium Foam is biodegradable and has the potential to replace polymer foams, offering a unique combination of sustainability, design, and storytelling. Its visual and material identity reflects modern values of circular design and regenerative systems.
