GROWING MYCELIUM
MycoBeautyCo
Innovative cosmetic packaging made from mycelium, replacing plastic with a biodegradable and sustainable alternative.
From nature back to nature — luxury mycelium packaging designed in Apeldoorn.
Our vision is to transform and inspire the cosmetic industry by making more responsible decisions for their packaging and making sustainable, biodegradable materials the new standard.
MycoBeauty Co aims to reduce packaging waste within the cosmetic industry by replacing plastics with biodegradable mycelium-based packaging, supporting the circular economy.
MycoBeauty Co is an innovative startup packaging company that specialises in designing luxury packaging for cosmetics such as skincare products and makeup by using mycelium technology. Founded in 2026 and based in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, the company produces sustainable packaging made from mushrooms (mycelium) and upcycled agricultural wastes like sawdust, hemp hurds, and rice husk.
Our energy-efficient, low-carbon manufacturing process produces material that is 100% biodegradable and compostable, leaving no harmful residues.
Biodegradable cosmetic packaging made from mycelium—built for luxury, engineered for sustainability.

| Packaging Type | Biodegradability | Environmental Impact | Manufacturing Waste | Consumer Appeal | End-of-Life Disposal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mycelium Packaging | Designed for compost & return to nature | Lower lifecycle impact; fungal growth absorbs resources | Minimal offcuts; circular feedstock sourcing | Premium look & feel with premium brand storytelling | Compostable through appropriate conditions & programs |
| Plastic Packaging | Typically non-biodegradable; persists for decades | High impact from extraction, processing, and landfill burden | Significant scrap from molds and fossil-based processing | Utility-first; less compelling sustainability perception | Recycling dependent; many components end up in waste streams |
