HOW CAN WE REDUCE OPERATIONAL CARBON WHILE TRYING TO REDUCE EMBODIED CARBON?
history of thermal insulation

key properties of thermal insulation materials



Both mycelium-based insulation and cork offer strong thermal performance with minimal environmental impact. Mycelium acts as a carbon sink, while cork has a very low footprint. Both materials naturally sequester CO₂—mycelium absorbs carbon as it grows, and cork oak forests capture CO₂ over time—making them sustainable choices for reducing atmospheric carbon.
