Leadership wants the plastic foam out. Your team has to find a replacement that protects just as well, fits the budget, passes validation and doesn’t need new bins at the plant.
That’s the job we do. We design the part around mycelium composite, make the prototypes, run the tests with you and hand over a spec your production partners can use. Premium brands come to us with the same process for packaging and objects that need to stand out.
Our track record
Fits your waste system
A glue-free cardboard shell. It goes straight into the paper recycling your plant already has.
Hemp and mycelium with no synthetic binder. It is classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD 301F, so it can go in organic or general waste.
This is how we set up the Magna headlamp pack: the paper goes to recycling, the mycelium goes in the bins they already use.
Feasibility | Spec | Cost
We look at your part, your spec and your target cost, test the material options and tell you straight whether mycelium composite can do the job.
Shape | Mould | Coating
We design the part around the material: shape, mould, coating and the price it has to hit.
Prototypes | Transit | Data
We make prototypes in the real shape and size and run the tests your part has to pass. You get the data, plus samples to run your own.
Pilot run | Your line | Scale-up
We run a pilot series so you can check the part on your own line, with your suppliers and with your customers, before you scale up.

Hemp hurd and other plant residue from farms and factories. Your own plant waste can go in too.
The root network of fungi grows through the fibre and binds it. It is the only binder: no resins, no glue.
Grown in a mould to near-net shape, then dried below 10% moisture. Ready to test, coat or ship.
In plain words
Typical values for our standard hemp formulation, uncoated. Measured by the University Construction Testing Laboratory, University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Sofia (accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17025). Typical results, not a specification: confirm them for your part by testing it in its application.

Questions we get asked
We develop and make molded mycelium composite parts: protective packaging, inserts and supports that today use PU foam, EPS or cork, plus selected interior parts. We cover R&D, design, prototypes, testing and pilot production. Flat sheets for converting are available on request.
No. Mycelium composite is a rigid material: hemp hurd bound by mycelium and grown in a mould to near-net shape. It isn't soft or flexible, so it doesn't replace leather, textiles or mattress foam.
Yes. Tell us about your part in the brief and we'll let you know which samples fit your application and how we send them.
No fixed minimum. We can do short runs of 1 to 100 parts, and we scale up from there with your volumes.
First samples take about 1 to 2 weeks from the start of growing. New tooling adds time depending on the part, typically 1 to 4 weeks for production moulds.
Every part is quoted per project, based on size, volume, coating and tooling. Most projects start with a paid feasibility and prototype phase, so you know what works before you commit to production.
15 mm is the minimum for molded parts. Thinner sections are possible with pressed material, which is denser and stiffer. General tolerance is ±2 mm, depending on the geometry.
The surface repels water and short contact is fine: 1.48 kg/m² absorption after 24 hours of partial immersion. Fully submerged for weeks, it takes on water. For wet or humid conditions we pick a coating from our library of 160+ tested coatings.
No. It isn't certified for direct food contact.
The mycelium part is classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD 301F and goes in organic or general waste. When we pair it with a glue-free paper outer, the paper goes to standard paper recycling, so your plant needs no new bins.
Yes. Most of our corporate work runs under NDA, and we're happy to sign one before you share drawings.
