Myco Materials
milieu noun mi • lieu
: the physical or social setting in which something occurs or develops
At Milli, we’re pioneering a new wave of radically sustainable materials, starting with mycelium— a powerhouse of carbon-negative innovation. Research and development of our mycelium-based composites are done right here in Singapore, thoughtfully crafted using only traceable local waste materials.
Through careful refinement and perfecting our process, we’ve created stunning, versatile finishes that bring beauty, sustainability, and functionality into your indoor space. Whether you’re designing for an eco-conscious office, or building with the future in mind, Milli’s bio-materials offer a unique blend of style and sustainability, helping you create interior spaces that don’t just look good, but do good for the planet.
It begins with Mycelium.
Mycelium! The thread like root structure of mushrooms or fungi, creates remarkably strong and durable bio-materials through it’s natural ability to form dense, interlocking networks that bind organic substrates into solid myco-composites.
This biological engineering process produces materials strong enough for indoor architectural applications ranging from heat insulation, sound proofing, acoustic panels, office furnishings and packaging, all while only using collected organic waste as raw materials.
Milli goes Further.
Traditional mycelium composites fall into the negative embodied carbon category due to their biomass content.
At Milli, we are pushing for even greater carbon negativity. Our mycelium grows on a 100% local waste substrate, diverting paper and food waste from landfills and turning it into usable bio-materials.
We only use several carefully selected strains of fungi that grow with minimal climate control, preventing the need for energy-intensive temperature and humidity controls.
Finally, to ensure that our products and solutions have a place in the circular economy, we use proprietary treatments that does not affect the bio-degradability of our products.
We’re Growing The
Future of Indoor Materials.
-
Mycelium composites represent the future of sustainable construction, offering a compelling alternative to traditional building materials that addresses both environmental and performance concerns.
Unlike conventional materials that require energy intensive manufacturing processes, myco-composites grow themselves from waste, creating a circular economy solution that transforms waste into a valuable building resource.
-
Myco-composites excel as natural acoustic solutions, offering sound absorption properties that rival traditional synthetic materials. Their high acoustic absorption capabilities make them excellent for sound treatment and insulation as the inherently porous cellular structure effectively dampens sound waves across multiple frequencies.
-
Myco-composites demonstrate exceptional thermal insulation properties that make them standout performers in energy efficient building design. Due to their low thermal conductivity, myco-composites show promise as thermal insulation materials, out performing traditional construction materials like synthetic foam and mineral wool.
-
Petroleum-based building materials may accelerate the spread of fire or produce dangerous smoke and chemicals. Myco-composites provide a more reliable alternative that can help improve overall fire performance.
The dense, cellular structure of mycelium naturally resists ignition and flame spread while synthetic options melt and give off harmful toxic fumes when exposed to high temperatures.
This natural fire resistance, combined with their non-toxic composition, makes myco-composites particularly valuable for creating safer indoor environments where occupant protection is paramount.
-
Myco-composites offer remarkable versatility across numerous indoor interior applications, transforming from a single bio-material, into customizable solutions for diverse range of architecture and interior design needs.
This allow designers and architects the flexibilityto create healthier indoor environments while achieving aesthetic goals, offering a sustainable alternative that doesn't compromise on style, performance, or occupant wellbeing in residential, commercial, and institutional interiors.
