Mycocycle | Bolingbrook, IL

The Team: Mycocycle Inc (Bolingbrook, IL) is a for-profit material processor using fungi to eliminate toxins like heavy hydrocarbons or plasticizers from waste to produce environmentally safe bio-composite materials for manufacturers and compounders.

NextCycle Michigan Project: Mycocycle is launching innovation hubs in Michigan, leveraging its patented mycelium-based process to transform non-inert waste—such as carpet, rubber, textiles, gypsum, and asphalt—into sustainable, low-carbon bio-composite materials for use in compounding and manufacturing as performance boosting additives as seen in its first commercialized product a bio-based infill for sports fields. During the NextCycle program, the team will locate feedstock from local waste collectors, connect with potential partners in manufacturing and compounding, and identify funding pathways.
