Replace styrofoam with packaging that composts.

Mycelium packaging is protective packaging grown from the root network of fungi on agricultural waste. Bina BioX's Biofoam is a compostable alternative to polystyrene foam, moulded to your product.

name your styrofoam product

Styrofoam’s jobs, done by mushroom roots. Products we have made so far:

Blocks for furniture Corner and edge protection that replaces foam and cardboard corners.
Holders for glass jars Cushioning that keeps fragile jars in place.
Blocks for electrical appliances Cushioning blocks shaped around the product.
Garden pots The same material in a different shape.

Have a different shape or size in mind? We are still growing the range.

Same job. A different ending.

Bina BioX Biofoam

  • Made from: petroleum
  • After use: does not compost, and ends up in landfill or the environment
  • Rules: restricted in a growing number of markets, such as Australia and California

Bina BioX Biofoam

  • Made from: mycelium and local farm waste
  • After use: composts in soil or a compost bin in about 30 to 90 days
  • Protection: passed our in-house 9 kg plate compressive-strength test

How is it made?

1. Collect

1. Collect

1. Collect

We take local organic agro-industrial waste that would otherwise be burned or dumped, and use it as the raw material.


50 to 360 tonnes diverted from landfill and waterways

2. Grow

1. Collect

1. Collect

Our Bina BioX mycelium formulation, grown in our own lab, binds the waste into a solid block in the shape of your packaging.

At end of life, Bina BioX Biofoam composts in soil or a compost bin and leaves no harmful residue.


About 30 to 90 days to compost

Name your styrofoam product. Let’s make it compostable.

Tell us what it protects, its size and where it ships. We will sketch a Biofoam* prototype to fit, and work through it with you.


  1. Name it: your product, size and shipping route.
  2. We sketch it: A Bina BioX Biofoam prototype shaped to fit.
  3. Review it together: We refine it with you.

Why Bina BioX?

Light, strong and impact resistant

No toxicity detected in third-party screening

No toxicity detected in third-party screening

Bina BioX Biofoam passed our in-house 9 kg plate compressive-strength test. It is naturally insulating and made for protective packaging and cushioning.

Designed for 70 to 80% lower carbon than plastic production

In our compost trials, a block broke down over about a month.

Production sits close to the raw material, so the supply chain stays short.

What do buyers ask us first?

Mycelium is the root-like structure of fungi. It is biodegradable, durable and naturally insulating, which makes it a sustainable alternative to plastic and styrofoam packaging.

Our mycelium is sourced sustainably from local agricultural waste, ensuring an eco-friendly and low-impact production process.

No. It works best for protective packaging and cushioning. It does not replace flexible films or bags.

It has natural water resistance but is not fully waterproof like plastic. A bio-coating can add protection.

It stays durable for several months in normal conditions and decomposes in about 30 to 90 days when composted.

Yes. It breaks down in soil or a compost bin without harmful residues.

The upfront cost can be higher. Long-term environmental and brand benefits can outweigh it, and regulation is moving in the same direction.

Mycelium packaging decomposes naturally, preventing microplastic pollution and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel-based materials.

Yes. Bina BioX grows Bina BioX Biofoam in its own lab in Malaysia from local farm waste and is prototyping corner blocks with furniture exporters. Send us your product size and shipping route.

Yes! Our solutions are fully customizable to fit different product sizes, branding needs, and sustainability goals.

Tell us what you ship. We will shape the foam-free version.

Send your product size and shipping route and we will sketch a Bina BioX Biofoam prototype to fit.
