Mycolation

Biological recycling technology for processing fine residues

​

Mycolation is developing a biotechnological process for the resource-efficient processing of fine-grained residues. Through the targeted use of mycelia – the root network of fungi – selective particle binding is created, enabling the effective separation of valuable materials and impurities in the finest range. This natural ‘adhesive intelligence’ replaces energy- and chemical-intensive processes with a robust, scalable and environmentally friendly approach. The technology addresses particularly problematic residues from the mining, construction and recycling industries, taps into new raw material potential and contributes to the fulfilment of key objectives of the European Green Deal – such as resource efficiency, reduction of landfill volumes and promotion of circular material flows.
