Mycelium after use: What did we learn?

Lunch & Learn

Mycelium-bound composites are gaining attention as a promising biobased material. But what happens when their first life comes to an end?

Over the past years, the MycEoLA project has explored how mycelium biocomposites can be kept in use for as long as possible – through reuse, upcycling, remanufacturing, biodegradation and other end-of-life options. The project also investigated an important question: does a bio-based material automatically have a sustainable end-of-life?

Now that the project is coming to an end, we would like to share what we have learned. 

Join this Lunch & Learn to discover:

  • What is the expected lifespan of mycelium-bound composites 
  • What we learned about biodegradability and remanufacturing 
  • What is the ideal route for the end-of-life mycelium-bound composites 
  • Which strategies show the most potential and what is the ideal route for the end-of-life of mycelium bound-composites 

Whether you are already working with mycelium, exploring biobased materials, or simply curious about the next step in the life of these materials, this session will give you a look at the results of the project and what they could mean for a more circular future. 

Join us, on Thursday September 24 at 12:15-13:00h, for an online Lunch & Learn and discover what happens to mycelium after use.
