WHAT WE DO
We develop mycelium-based materials and objects.
Harnessing mycelium's unique properties, Kineco creates sustainable mycelium materials and objects for various applications. Our mission is to craft innovative materials and designs that are as beautiful as they are eco-friendly. Our materials and techniques range from mycelium bio-coating to panel materials and composites for the interior industry.
ABOUT MYCELIUM
Mycelium is the root network of mushrooms​​
Mycelium is the branching root structure of mushrooms. It grows thread-like tissue called hyphae, that form vast mycelial networks. Mycelium is of vital importance to our ecosystems, as it can break down organic matter and restore nutrition in the soil. The mycelium can even act as a carbon storage facility and will reinvest the carbon into plants.
MYCOSHELL
A mycelium-based polymeric material substituting synthetic binders.​
What sets MycoShell apart is its minimalistic composition—a renewable and biodegradable solution that can replace fossil-based binding materials. Unlike conventional polymers that rely on synthetic additives for structural integrity, MycoShell, derived from the residual waste from the mycelium leather industry, requires no such enhancements.
MYCO PANEL
Panels for eco-friendly interiors​​
In recent years, mycelium has gained recognition for its diverse applications, ranging from biodegradable packaging to alternative construction materials. Particularly promising is its use in leather-like materials. However, the production of mycelium leather generates residual waste. Kineco repurposes this waste into biodegradable panels. Free from synthetic additives, the panels offer a sustainable option for interior design and architecture
MYCELIUM COMPOSITE
Design with mycelium composite materials.​
We implement our extensive experience and practice in mushroom technology to construct Hedelcomposite. A Grow-It-Yourself mycelium substrate that can be applied to create 100% biodegradable products and packaging made from the roots of fungus.
