Mycocycle, kev pib siv tshuab biotechnology tshwm sim los ntawm qhov xwm txheej, tau nce $ 2.2 lab nyiaj hauv cov noob qoob loo, nqa lawv cov nyiaj tag nrho tau nce mus txog $ 3.7 lab. Cov nyiaj txiag puag ncig, coj los ntawm Anthropocene Ventures, suav nrog kev nqis peev los ntawm TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good, Alumni Ventures, thiab Telescopic Ventures, thiab lwm yam.
Nrog rau lub peev tshiab no, Mycocycle npaj yuav nthuav nws pab neeg los ntawm ntiav tsib lub luag haujlwm tshiab, suav nrog tus lwm thawj ntawm kev tshawb fawb thiab kev tsim kho tshiab thiab tus lwm thawj ntawm kev ua haujlwm thiab kev tsim khoom. Lawv kuj npaj siab yuav tsim ib lub chaw sim ua qauv los txhim kho kev ua haujlwm thiab tsim lawv thawj zaug -tsim kho lub thawv, hu ua MYCONtainer. Lub thawv no yuav nce Mycocycle lub peev xwm los pab cov neeg siv khoom dhau ntawm lawv qhov chaw ua haujlwm. Lub tuam txhab cia siab tias yuav siv tau lawv cov biobased byproduct los ntawm peb lub hlis twg ntawm 2023.
Mycocycle twb tau kho 12,000 phaus ntawm cov khoom siv los ntawm cov neeg tsav tsheb them nyiaj nrog cov neeg siv khoom hauv kev tswj cov khib nyiab, rov ua dua tshiab, thiab kev tsim khoom lag luam. Lawv kuj tau koom tes nrog cov tswv tsev thiab cov neeg cog lus xws li META thiab Lendlease, uas tau cog lus los txo lawv cov Scope 3 emissions.
Cov khoom pov tseg sawv cev yog lub cib fim tseem ceeb rau kev txo qis kev tso tawm thoob ntiaj teb, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog kev siv zog ntxiv kom txwv lub ntiaj teb sov. Hauv Tebchaws Meskas ib leeg, kev tsim kho thiab rhuav tshem (C&D) kev lag luam tsim tawm 660 lab tons ntawm cov khib nyiab txhua xyoo, ntau dua ob npaug ntawm cov khoom pov tseg hauv nroog (MSW). Nrog rau qhov chaw pov tseg mus txog 85 feem pua muaj peev xwm thiab kev tsim kho thoob ntiaj teb tau nce siab, kev faib cov khib nyiab hauv C & D kev lag luam thiab kev txhawb nqa kev ncig tau dhau los ua qhov tseem ceeb.
Mycocycle, raws li hauv Bolingbrook, Illinois, hais txog kev tswj cov khib nyiab los ntawm kev hloov cov khoom pov tseg rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv tshiab. Lawv siv mycelium, cov kab mob fungal uas paub txog nws qhov hluav taws kub thiab dej tsis kam, rwb thaiv tsev, thiab lub teeb yuag. Mycocycle's patent- tseem tab tom siv thev naus laus zis ua kom zoo rau lub ntuj ua haujlwm ntawm cov fungi kom detoxify thiab hloov ntau yam ntaub ntawv pov tseg pom nyob rau hauv ib puag ncig tsim, xws li asphalt shingles, rwb thaiv tsev board, crumb rubber, gypsum drywall, thiab fibers. Cov ntaub ntawv no feem ntau muaj roj av- cov tshuaj tau los uas tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev sib kis ntawm ib puag ncig yog tias hlawv lossis faus. Mycocycle cov txheej txheem neutralizes toxicity thaum tsim dua tshiab, qis-carbon, mycelium-raws li raw khoom. Los ntawm kev tsav tsheb ncig hauv kev tsim kho cov saw hlau, lawv hloov cov khib nyiab los ntawm qhov chaw pov tseg thiab txo qhov xav tau rau kev rho tawm cov ntaub ntawv nkauj xwb los ntawm qhov xwm txheej.
Peb theem - cov txheej txheem ua haujlwm los ntawm Mycocycle yuav siv sijhawm li ob lub lis piam. Nws suav nrog kev sib xyaw ua haujlwm (lab)- cog cov fungi nrog cov ntaub ntawv pov tseg hauv av, tso cai rau lawv loj hlob thiab incubate rau 7-14 hnub. Tom qab ntawd cov mycelium tau sau thiab ua tiav rau hauv cov khoom siv roj carbon tsawg, xws li cov fillers thiab fibers, siv rau hauv cov khoom siv hauv tsev. Qhov nruab nrab, Mycocycle cov tshuaj txo cov khoom toxicity txog li 98 feem pua. Lub ntiaj teb no mycelium kev lag luam yuav tsum ncav cuag $ 3.84 nphom los ntawm 2026, thiab Mycocycle txoj kev daws teeb meem yog npaj los tsim ib lub lag luam tshiab ntawm biobased raw khoom rau kev lag luam khoom siv.
Anthropocene Ventures, tus thawj coj ua lag luam, hais txog lawv txoj kev cog lus rau kev nqis peev hauv cov tuam txhab uas ua raws kev lag luam nrog lub ntiaj teb ecology. Lawv ntseeg tias Mycocycle cov khib nyiab- hloov pauv kev daws teeb meem cuam tshuam txog qhov kev cog lus no thiab nthuav qhia cov txiaj ntsig tau txiaj ntsig. Lawv pom Mycocycle yog ib qho tseem ceeb hauv kev tawm tsam kev hloov pauv huab cua, hais txog lub sijhawm tseem ceeb rau kev decarbonization thiab ncig hauv kev tswj cov khib nyiab, kev tsim kho, thiab kev tsim khoom lag luam.
