One Material Changed Everything: Turning Textile Waste into Mycelium Panels | Mimbiosis at MFS

What if textile waste isn’t waste at all? In our series “One Material Changed Everything”, Gökçe Aydan Işık, Founder & CEO of Mimbiosis, explains how her team combines textile waste from fashion brands and manufacturers with mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, to grow panels for acoustic and thermal insulation and interior design. No synthetic binder, a ten-day process, and a clear answer to the question of end of life: organic panels biodegrade in soil within three months, all others are turned into new panels. We talk about: – how mycelium bound composites are made – who the material is for, from interior designers to fashion brands telling their circularity story in-store – decentralised production modules placed directly at textile manufacturers – what the industry needs to change: “This is not a waste, it’s a resource.” Learn more: www.mimbiosis.com Munich Fabric Start: munichfabricstart.com #MunichFabricStart #Mycelium #TextileWaste #CircularDesign #MaterialInnovation
