The problem Mycofibre 1.0 solves

● Environmental sustainability: Mycofibre is made from biodegradable and renewable resources, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic materials that can take hundreds of years to decompose.

● Waste reduction: The biodegradability of mycofibre means that it can be broken down into natural, non-toxic components, reducing waste and conserving resources.
● Sustainability in manufacturing: Mycofibre is produced through a sustainable and low-waste manufacturing process, reducing the environmental impact of material production.

● Durability and flexibility: Mycofibre has high degree of durability and flexibility, making it suitable for wide range of applications that require these properties.

● Cost efficiency: The use of renewable resources in mycofibre production can result in lower production costs compared to synthetic materials, making it more cost-efficient.

● Thermal insulation: The combination of all fibre composites used to produce Mycofibre can help mycofibre to regulate temperature and moisture making it suitable material for insulation and other applications where temperature control is important.

● Reduction of dependence on non-renewable resources: The use of renewable resources in Mycofibre can help reduce dependency on finite and non-renewable resources, making it a more sustainable choice for various applications.

Challenges we ran into

Cost: Mycofibre is currently more expensive to produce than traditional plastics, which can be a barrier to its widespread adoption.
