Problem
The textile industry generates 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of industrial wastewater, yet only 1% of textile waste is recycled into new materials. With extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations tightening across Europe, brands face mounting pressure to find circular solutions for their waste streams.
Solution
Mimbiosis uses mycelium—the root network of fungi—to bind post-industrial and post-consumer textile fibers into composite panels for interior applications. The resulting material delivers acoustic insulation, thermal performance, and fire retardancy, all from waste that would otherwise go to landfill. The panels are 100% biodegradable and carbon negative, offering a circular alternative to conventional building materials. By combining mycelium biotechnology with textile industry waste, Mimbiosis creates panels that deliver acoustic, thermal, and aesthetic performance while eliminating landfill burden and reducing carbon. The material makes circularity visible, measurable, and beautiful, giving brands a tangible sustainability story their customers can touch.
Target Audience
Primary customers are brands and manufacturers in the textile and interior building sectors seeking circular solutions for their waste streams and facing EPR regulatory compliance pressures across Europe.
