Functionality meets sustainability
At MycaNova, we are committed to assessing, conveying, and enhancing the sustainability of our products. We believe in being open and informative, and as such, every variant of MycaNova comes with a composition table, technical data sheet, and all available sustainability information. Our knowledgeable teams work closely with suppliers to ensure the highest transparency regarding CO2 origin, compositions, and carbon emissions. Furthermore, we partner with Ecochain, a prominent sustainability calculation platform, to simplify and make sense of complex data for straightforward interpretation.

- Improve recyclability in close cooperation with Centexbel
MycaNova Skin
The textile industry has a significant climate impact, and our mycelium production is substantial: we harvest six football fields of mycelium each day. Given these circumstances, we aspire to create a fully biodegradable mycelium material. The MycaNova Skin project team is diligently working to make this dream a reality, collaborating closely with selected innovation partners.

Research on fungi and mycelium is rapidly expanding, as more and more of their superpowers are revealed: some mycelia can break down polyurethane plastic, others are more specialized in polyester. Some of these plastic eating fungi even grow edible mushrooms, perfectly suited for human consumption.
