Causes: Public & Societal Benefit

Mission: Our mission is to accelerate the circular economy and empower people to live in a self-reliant and sustainable way.

Results: We have taught over 40 free classes on subjects of 3D printing, recycling, and food sustainability. We have created a recycling center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville to convert plastic waste into 3D printed objects as an effort towards a circular economy. Mycelium has donated a 3D printer to the Cavalry Hill public library for empowering students with upcoming technology and access to free 3D printing. We also donated over 500 3D printed faceshields to our healthcare workers in Huntsville during the pandemic lockdowns. Mycelium has created a futuristic food system vision for 2050 for the city Huntsville to decentralize and localize food production.

Target demographics: Empower communities to become self-reliant and accelerate a sustainable circular economy
