Mycocycle
Turning construction waste into usable biomass with fungi
When you remove a roof, you have A LOT of trash. Not just any trash, but construction and demolition debris. Up until now, the roofing industry has not been able to achieve zero-waste because the products manufactured were ultimately contaminated with asphalt. Mycocycle addresses this problem head-on by remediating toxic constituents.
Mycocycle develops and commercializes technologies utilizing the science of mycology. Eliminating a significant strain on our ecosystem, our process diverts materials from landfills through bioremediation, allowing for reuse as a feedstock in manufacturing, or to be recycled in other applications.
Mycocycle’s process promotes a closed-loop supply chain, converting carbon waste to a usable by-product.
