MOGU

MOGU is a start-up initiative created by Mycoplast, aiming to research, develop and commercialise a wide variety of bio-materials (e.g. bio-plastics) produced from the combination of mycelium (fungi) and agro-industrial residues (substrates), for the replacement of traditional synthetic matters, such as petroleum-based plastics. MOGU is a technology that employs the "root structure" of mushrooms - the mycelium - to transform and bind agricultural by-products into strong functional composites, f... ully natural, 100% compostable and suitable for many diverse applications and markets, including, among others, construction, packaging, nursery and horticulture markets. MOGU is therefore different materials, with diverse characteristic, starting from customers’ needs. MOGU palette of products includes light, low density, strong and resistant, shock-absorbing, performative materials. In MOGU, what used to be regarded as “waste” becomes the input for the generation of innovative processes and valuable, ecologically-responsible resources.More
