Redefining how the world treats industrial waste

Together for a sustainable future

Today’s systems manage waste by moving it, storing it, or delaying the problem. We believe waste should be transformed, not contained.

We're a Swedish start-up focused on sustainable systems

MycoMine’s mission is to transform how industrial waste is managed by replacing extractive and energy-intensive remediation methods with biological solutions. By harnessing the natural capabilities of fungi, we enable the breakdown of harmful compounds at a molecular level, turning pollutants into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass rather than transferring them into new waste streams.


Our vision is to make biological treatment a viable and scalable approach for managing industrial contamination globally. Through modular systems and a service-based model, we provide flexible, measurable solutions that can be deployed across a wide range of industries and environments.


The team brings together expertise in biology, environmental science, and engineering, united by a shared focus on applying natural processes to complex industrial challenges. By combining scientific research with real-world deployment, we are building a new category of waste treatment.
