Solution Overview & Benefits

MycoTile is a Kenyan social enterprise that transforms agricultural by-products (e.g., sugarcane bagasse, coffee husks, maize cobs) into high-performance building materials by fermenting them with oyster mushroom mycelium. The result: lightweight insulation panels for walls, roofs, and even custom furniture or packaging that use 80% less water and 50% less energy to produce than conventional materials. Panels are fully compostable, non-toxic, and offer natural fire-retardant properties due to the chitin in fungal mycelium.

History & Development

Founded by Mtamu Kililo (CEO) and Bill Mwangi (Technical Director), MycoTile emerged from a desire to promote circular, locally sourced alternatives in construction materials. Originating in Nairobi, the team has piloted its panel product and secured partnerships—including an early scale with CrossBoundary Real Estate for the Mosaic development. The company collaborates with local farmers for raw material supply and aligns with Kenya’s focus on green economic opportunity.
