Maturity stage TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world

MYCOTEX by NEFFA offers an award-winning, all-in-one solution for fashion and interior brands. They develop sustainable vegan textiles made from mycelium (mushroom roots) and combine those with a seamless production technology to create custom-fit products, allowing brands to set the latest trends whilst offering truly sustainable products. The ground breaking manufacturing method solves several major issues in the fashion, interior and automotive industry. It reduces cost, waste, and labor-intensity of cut & sew operations, replaces plastics and leathers with compostable materials and improves the comfort and fit of fashion products.

The Environmental Benefits

  • The innovative manufacturing method reduces 10 - 30% of production waste compared to a conventional supply chain
  • Products are home compostable, eliminating 95% of the consumers waste
  • Local manufacturing method will reduce the total production time to 50% leading to a reduction of time-to-market of 20% average ( no need to grow a cow (leather), cotton (fake leather), nor have a tanning procedure or having to ship products)
  • 0% hazardous chemicals, pesticides, animals or animal derived products
  • On-demand production will save 10% of pre-production waste
  • 0% water used for (through and through) dyeing

The Financial Benefits

  • Due to the material and seamless production technique, MYCOTEX products will be 25% less expensive compared to leather products when fully scaled.
  • Personalisation in sizing decreases online return-rate up to 15-40%
