Product description
MycoFILL (alongside MycoFIBER and MycoFOAM) is a mycelium-based raw-material additive produced by Mycocycle’s proprietary fungi remediation process.
Waste streams like asphalt shingles, drywall, foam, carpet, and crumb rubber are loaded into a mobile incubation unit (MyContainer) and combined with fungal mycelium. Over approximately 10–14 days, the fungi colonize and detoxify the substrate, breaking down toxic compounds including PFAS, PVC, and hydrocarbons by up to 98%.
The resulting mycelium-embedded composite is deactivated and ground into an inert bio-based filler powder. MycoFILL can replace traditional petrochemical fillers and additives in plastics, composites, insulation, and building materials. It has been incorporated into consumer-grade polypropylene and HDPE compounds used in automotive parts, pallets, and commercial flooring, and serves as sustainable infill in turf and playground applications.
MycoFILL offers performance benefits (fire, water resistance, durability) without cost premium, while cutting CO₂ emissions by more than 98% in certain supply chains. Available and margin-positive in commercial pilots with partners like Tarkett, MycoFILL is ready for broader industry adoption via licensing or off-take agreements.
