We turn waste into life.
Our vision is to develop green technology based on microbial processes for sustainable treatment of environmental pollutants.
100% eco friendly
MycoMine reduces the environmental impact of pollutants by up to 100%. Instead of just transforming waste into CO2 emissions, we turn it into biomass - into life.
Cost efficient
MycoMine provides cost effective solutions by reducing transportation, combustion, taxes, and fees associated with existing alternatives.
Fully modular
Our innovative MycoCube is biological, portable, and scaleable - enabling on site treatment to meet our clients’ needs.
Our solution
Next generation treatment plants
For the last 150 years our planet has been dependent on fossil fuels. This has led to a huge environmental debt for which conventional solutions fall short in addressing.
Our solution is the MycoCube, a portable treatment plant in which the active component is fungi. It is used in-situ to minimize transportation of pollutions, and the system can be re-used at several sites.

The product
The MycoCube
Scalable
The MycoCube system can be scaled-up to meet the volumes in need of treatment.
Cost efficient
MycoCube reduces costs for incineration, transportation, land-fill management, and fees.
Fully modular
Our innovative MycoCube is biological, portable, and scaleable - enabling on site treatment to meet our clients’ needs.
The process
How it works, step by step.
From start to finish, this is what the MycoCube process looks like.
Step 1
Planning
We survey the polluted site with our client, collect data, analyze in the lab, and advise a recommendation.
Step 2
Installation
We construct and install the MycoCube on site. Depending on the size of the polluted site, MycoCubes can be scaled accordingly.
Step 3
Operation
During the operational phase we are responsible for operations, maintenance and the performance of the MycoCube during our service subscription.
Case study
“MycoMine’s method speeds up the natural processes”
In collaboration with the Swedish Fortifications Agency we initiated our pilot during autumn and winter 2022-2023 at Ytterby mine, close to Stockholm. Ytterby mine was used by the Swedish military forces during the cold war as fuel storage and since the 1990’s has been subject to oil-sanitation efforts. The groundwater in the mine is still polluted by hydrocarbons and in need of treatment.The primary objective is to clean the water of the mine shaft to restore the environment of the mine.
Our MycoCube at Ytterby mine has performed over expectations with 99.9% degradation of all oils and a water quality close to drinking water. MycoCube has proven that biological recycling of oil-based pollutants is the way forward.
