Mycelium Based Acoustic Panels

We design biomaterials using mushroom mycelium and agricultural waste, creating sustainable alternatives to traditional acoustic materials used in interior architecture, such as soft sponge and polyester coatings. Free from petroleum-based and chemical binders, our products are produced through the upcycling of agricultural and textile waste. At the same time, they offer mechanical and physical properties comparable to conventional acoustic panels.

Our Solution:

• Reducing Carbon Emissions in Construction: Mycelium composites consist of cellulose-rich agricultural or textile waste (carbon-negative) and fungal mycelium as a natural binder. Their production consumes up to 90% less energy than plastics and results in 50% lower carbon emissions.

• No VOCs or Chemical Binders: Mycelium itself acts as the binder, forming strong networks without synthetic adhesives, eliminating harmful emissions throughout its lifecycle.

• Fire Resistance: Chitin in mycelium increases oxygen index levels, slowing combustion and enhancing fire safety.

• Acoustic Performance: The natural fibers and porous structure of mycelium composites effectively absorb sound. The choice of cellulose sources impacts performance, allowing for material combinations that optimize acoustics.

• By integrating acoustic comfort with sustainability, our materials offer a healthy and eco-friendly alternative, reducing reliance on petrochemicals while preserving natural resources.
