You've heard of fruit leather, but what about making leather from fruit? Or more precisely, feeding fruit waste like mango pulp to bacteria which then convert those sugars into a leather-like material that can be useful for all types of purposes? That's exactly what Polybion, a startup in Central Mexico, is doing. Co-founded in 2015 by two brothers with a passion for using biology to save humanity from ourselves—as CEO Axel Gómez-Ortigoza puts it—Polybion has pioneered methods of turning the fruit industry's trash into what they hope will be their treasure. As you'll hear in this episode, Polybion has methods for treating fruit waste to make it economic as a feedstock in their fermentation system to grow cellulose into a leather-like material they call Celium. Already the company is partnered with fashion companies eager to put Celium into their menu of offerings. To sustainably feed and clothe ourselves into the future, it's imperative that we no longer go big with animal agriculture, but instead go small with microbial agriculture. Will Polybion's cellulose leather be a part of the solution? Time will tell. But for now, enjoy hearing the wild ride this company's been on from conception to pivoting technologies to getting a product out onto the market. Discussed in this episode You can see photos of Celium here. CNN on the partnership between Danish fashion brand Ganni and Polybion. Suzanne Lee was an inspiration for Polybion's founders. Ecovative also inspired them, and we did an episode with them too! Plastic-eating fungi offer hope Axel recommends reading Microcosmos and My Inventions. He also recommends watching the original Carl Sagan Cosmos TV series from the 1980s. (The 2014 remake with Neil deGrasse Tyson is also great.) Guillermo González Camarena was an engineer who served as an inspiration to Axel. More about Axel Gómez-Ortigoza Axel Gómez-Ortigoza was born with an innate fascination for the mysteries of life, the natural world, and the universe, which sparked his lifelong passion for life sciences and finding solutions to complex problems. After completing high school, he decided to carry on the family tradition of engineering that had spanned three generations and pursued a career in bioengineering. With his expertise in Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Cell Culture, Murine Assays, Genetic Engineering, Synthetic Biology, and Origami, Axel became a skilled R&D scientist. At the young age of 22, he and his brother Alexis co-founded Polybion, a New Generation Materials Company, which soon earned Axel a spot as one of MIT Technology Review's Innovators Under 35. Today, he serves as both CEO and CTO of his company, and his groundbreaking work has led to the development of the world's first Bacterial Cellulose Biomanufacturing Facility. Axel's tireless efforts have paved the way for the rapid advancement of bioassembled products, increased sustainability, and a more efficient transition toward a circular economy. He is convinced that the intersection of biology and technology is the key to solving the global health crisis. He envisions a future in which humans and nature can coexist in harmony.
Eben Bayer, founder of Ecovative, delves into the transformative power of mycelium technology and its potential to reshape industries from packaging to food production. He shares his journey from a small farm in Vermont to leading a company that pioneers sustainable materials, discussing how biology can be leveraged to create regenerative, profitable businesses. With a strong belief in the power of biology as technology, Eben explains how his innovations are not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable, offering a glimpse into the future of the bioeconomy.

CEO Eben Bayer says growing mycelium is no different than traditional mushroom farming systems.
Mushroom farming is a $60 billion industry, but the vast majority of it is growing just one species.
Lab grown meat has certainly not lived up to the hype from a few years ago. But there's been another alternative protein that humans have been eating for generations: mushrooms.
Headstorm: https://headstorm.com/AGPILOT: https://headstorm.com/agpilot/Ecovative: https://www.ecovative.com/ MyForest Foods: https://myforestfoods.com/ I've been meaning to do an episode on mushroom farming and mushroom technology for a long long time. But the right story just never presented itself. Then I got connected with Ecovative and about the same time got in touch with the subject of next weeks' interview and all of a sudden I have two fascinating stories of fungi! And these aren't far-fetched companies: they are proving commercially that mushroom farming shouldn't be kept in the dark when it comes to the future of agriculture. In fact, when you think about the vast diversity of fungi that exist in nature, it's surprising to me that we haven't seen more done to commercialize them for food, fiber and other resources (relative to domesticated plants and animals). But there are reasons to believe that's starting to change, and will likely be accelerated through advancements in biotechnology in my opinion. So this is a great time to bring on Eben Bayer, co-founder and CEO of Ecovative, which he co-founded clear back in 2007. Ecovative is now the leading mycelium technology company in the world. He is also Co-founder of MyForest Foods, and is listed as an inventor on 64+ patents. Eben grew up working on his family's farm in Vermont, where he began thinking of mycelium as a new category of material with myriad possibilities. He has since developed mycelium technology into the basis of sustainable innovations across industrial categories, including applications in construction, packaging, food, automotive, fashion and apparel.We will of course focus on his work in food and specifically on the bacon product made from his mycelium.

Is the future of construction mycelium-based? That's what Thomas van Haren asks in sustainable building initiative. Join host Todd and guest Thomas as they discuss Thomas' work on Project Phoenix, the essential nature of sustainable housing, cost benefits of mycelium-based building materials, and the collaborative partnerships that have helped Project Phoenix take flight. Thomas van Haren is the Chief Operating Officer of Ecovative, where he is responsible for the mycelium composites and raw materials business lines across the United States and Europe. Ecovative's composite products are focused on replacing single use plastics, such as EPS and PU, for applications ranging from packaging to construction materials, while the raw materials business produces spawn and substates that are required for growing these products.
Myco-materials is an emerging field that uses mycelium and fungi to solve a vast array of problems--from sustainable design, to biodegradable packaging, to home + construction, and architecture + design. Companies like Ecovative and Loop (s/o Marc Violo) pioneered this industry, but there are hundreds of startups and entrepreneurs expanding on the solutions in the space. Jessica Diaz & Catherine Euale have been partners in all things mycelium for many years now, and their most recent project is called Fungal Matters--an online myco-materials design course. Catherine comes from a textiles and fashion design background, and Jessica comes from an architecture background, so they bring a wide mix of knowledge and experience to their collaboration In this episode, we'll touch onMycelium design courseWhat kinds of mushrooms they use in myco material makingEthnomycological uses of mycelium and mushrooms - aka how it has been used for centuriesNew projects for Catherine and Jessica, like:3D printing in myco materialsMushroom material surfboardMyco-leather researchTimestamps0:00 - Intro4:40 - What are myco-materials?5:37 - Myco-Materials design course (Fungal Matters)10:22 - What mushrooms to use in myco-materials?13:45 - Ethno-mycological (historical) uses of myco-materials18:23 - How to prevent fruiting19:20 - 3D Printing in myco-materials22:00 - How Jessica and Catherine got into mycology29:53 - Myco-Materials Design Course - Mycology 10134:07 - Innoculation + Incubation 36:10 - Substrates, Composites + Membranes41:47 - Digital Fabrication, Finishes + Fungal Futures44:55 - What comes next?47:50 - Other projects they're working on54:00 - OutroResourcesFungal Matters InstagramCatherine's InstagramJessica's InstagramCatherine's Myco-leather researchJessica's Myco-surfboard project and Ongo Boards instagramTheme Music: Lacuna (ft.

The way most of us know fungi best is by mushrooms. Ecovative's innovation, AirMycelium, is expanding the possibilities of working with mushrooms. This month, WTiN talks to Gavin McIntyre, co-founder of New York-based company, Ecovative. There is huge demand for sustainable and planet-friendly leather alternatives that feel, look and perform like the real thing. Ecovative has a specialised soft goods division called Forager that approaches the problem by using its AirMycelium technology to grow durable, synthetic-free and totally vegan materials for the fashion industry.Grown in only nine days, Forager's AirMycelium hides have a naturally high tensile strength, tear resistance, durability and other traits that are equal to animal leathers. If you want to get in touch with Ecovative, you can find them at forager.bio. To discuss any of our topics, get in touch by following @wtincomment and @rubyatwtin on Twitter, or email rpenson@wtin.com directly. To explore sponsorship opportunities, email sales@wtin.com.
Mycelium based materials have a wealth of potential applications. But how does a new material get out of the experimental phase and into mass production? That transition is often where material development can stall. Luckily, that isn't happening with mycelium. In this episode, we speak with Gavin McIntyre, who is the co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer at Ecovative. Ecovative is a revolutionary company at the forefront of the mycelium industry. He leads us through the journey Ecovative has taken to get mycelium products into homes across the world.

PODCAST MUSICSpecial thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here. I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.
Since co-founding Ecovative Designs alongside his college classmate, Gavin McIntyre has been working to expand the incredible capacity of mycelium to grow a product that can displace the tons of waste in petroleum-based protective foams. In the 15 years since they began this project, Ecovative has continued to explore the many innovative applications of this biodegradable material. Their journey has included a constant process of learning how to scale manufacturing on both a local and global scale. Join us in learning what motivates Gavin to invest in regenerative design.

Joshua English of okom wrks labs is a regenerative materials researcher and designer who has developed the strongest mycelium composite on the planet. What does this mean, exactly?Well, it means harnessing the self-replicating wonders of mycelium in order to create 1:1 replacements for materials that have historically led to deforestation.It means building houses, furniture, boat hulls and even spaceship hulls out of mushroom mycelium instead of the increasingly rare tropical hardwoods, toxic industrial wares, etc. that are currently employed.Joshua has pioneered a patent-pending mycelium based biocomposite called 'zerø-frm' with structural, load bearing properties…a monumental leap forward in the field, to say the least.zerø-frm uses low-tech means of creating load-bearing, structural components from 3 simple ingredients: mycelium, hemp hurd, and organic cotton.I ask Joshua if it is a pie in the sky fantasy to imagine a future where the world is quite literally made out of mycelium - you paddle your mycelium-composite canoe down the canal, disembark and walk up your mycelium dock into your cozy little okom-wrks zerø-frm structural insulated panel derived cabin, and lay down on your mycelium bed to dream of sweet little birds singing in joyful harmony!Spoiler alert - No, it’s not a fantasy world we’re talking about here, it’s the future of regenerative design.As Joshua himself states, “Science fiction always drives science." The potential impact of this kind of revolutionary and truly regenerative building material cannot be overstated.In this episode we touch upon Joshua's adventures in the world of mycelium-based biocomposite design, the future of regenerative building materials, the need for regional and circular economies, and other key players in the world of mycelium-design including Ecovative and MycoWorks.

Landfills are, well, filling up. We’re running out of places to put our trash, and the trash we’ve landfilled won’t decompose for centuries. But, what if we could take a lot of trash and seed it with fungal cultures that would eat it and render it no longer toxic within just a few weeks rather than having to wait centuries? That’s exactly what Mycocycle is planning to do, and we’ve got their CEO, Joanne Rodriguez, on the show to talk about it. After a decades-long career in construction, Joanne founded Mycocycle and with her team has been training fungi to eat construction trash, especially asphalt, and plan to sell that service to municipalities and landfills. As if that weren’t enough, she then plans to take the fungi mycelium they’ve grown and sell it as a biodegradable packaging material. Pretty cool, huh? Well, what might be even cooler is that you yourself can invest in Joanne’s company right now! Normally, startups on this show are only seeking funding from deep pocketed venture capital firms. But Mycocycle is taking a different approach, seeking to raise their first round from hundreds of individuals via StartupEngine.com, with a minimum investment of only $262. So take a listen to the company and the mycelium that Joanne is growing. It’s an impressive story, and one that might even involve you! Discussed in this episode You can invest in Mycocycle here! Mycocyle went through the LatinX incubator. Mycocycle’s pending patent application. Joanne was inspired by Daniel’s story. Joanne recommends books like Mycelium Running and Radical Mycology We reference past episodes with Coral Vita, Ecovative, and Bolt Threads. More about Joanne Rodriguez Founder and CEO of Mycocycle, Joanne Rodriguez has worked across the construction products industry for 30 years. She is a subject matter expert in sustainable technologies–like zero waste and the circular economy, and she has experience leading diverse teams to unprecedented growth. Leading the sustainability efforts for a major roof manufacturer, Joanne discovered the issue of the unsustainable and growing problems related to disposing of construction and demolition materials. A frequent national speaker, she carries a vast network of contacts across manufacturing, architecture and design, government leadership, and sustainability. She has served on boards with the US EPA, the Constructions Specification Institute, the US Green Building Council, and has served as a subject matter expert at convenings of the United Nations, Clinton Global Initiative, ecoAmerica, GreenBiz, and Resilient Cities Summits. Joanne is a Certified Permaculture Designer, a Construction Documents Specialist, holds a Professional Certificate from Cornell University in Climate Change Communications, and is a LEED Accredited Professional through the US Green Building Council.
