About MycoTEX
MycoTEX® is the ground breaking automated seamless manufacturing method allowing for custom-made products made from compostable mushroom roots (mycelium). We solve major issues in the fashion industry: reduce cost waste, and labour-intensity of cut & sew operations; replace plastics and leathers with compostable materials and improve the comfort and fit of fashion products. We are determined to grow the future of fashion by creating the ultimate personalised garment for mass production, and we are on a mission to revolutionize textile materials and production techniques. We believe that changing the way we produce our clothes will have a greater and more immediate impact rather then trying to change consumer behaviour.
