Myteria is an early-stage biomaterials initiative from the Netherlands developing circular interior panels grown from mycelium and locally sourced agricultural residues. It rethinks how materials are made: instead of extracting and processing, they grow them using nature’s own binding system.

Conventional construction materials are often fossil-based, energy-intensive and difficult to recover. Myteria takes a different approach. Agricultural side streams become input, and mycelium acts as a natural binder, eliminating synthetic adhesives. The result is a lightweight composite designed for low-energy production and safe return to biological cycles or reuse at end of life.

They are exploring applications in non-load-bearing interiors, from wall and ceiling panels to acoustic elements, insulation boards and modular systems for offices and public spaces.

Currently in the market validation and prototyping phase, they are in conversation with architects, designers, construction companies and developers to understand where such materials can create real value. They welcome contact with stakeholders who want to exchange insights, challenge ideas and help shape future applications.

This project believes that the next generation of building materials can be grown, not manufactured - and that this shift is key to a more circular and climate-aligned built environment.
