NEFFA - MYCOTEX

Overview: 
”MycoTEX is a ground breaking seamless manufacturing method allowing for custom-made clothes made from compostable mushroom roots. We use a seamless production technology to create custom-fit products out of sustainable, vegan textiles made from mycelium (mushroom roots)”.

Ingredient information:
NEFFA uses mushroom leathers made from Reishi and Amadou mushrooms. They laser cut and mould with steam, resulting in a suede like effect. No chemicals are used in the production of mycelium, although the materials can be dyed. In the case of Mycelium Made, products contain only natural dyes to avoid harmful dye runoff.

Sustainability credentials:
MycoTEX is a completely biodegradable material made from natural fiber that can simply be returned to the earth at the end of its useful life. Mycelium can be nourished by waste materials, such as agricultural offcuts, and anything cellulose-based, such as paper, packing and textile offcuts.

Application and use:
MycoTEX offers an all in one solution for luxury, sustainable, high quality clothing. The company has developed technology which produces textiles from mycelium which are combined with 3D technology to create seamless garments which ultimately fit the body perfectly.
