MYCO // A sustainable cycle helmet that embodies a circular system, tackling material innovation with a focus on safety and the end of a products lifecycle.

The helmet is crafted from recyclable materials and a biodegradable mycelium inner shell which is compostable after three years, releasing zero toxins. Its design uses a unique mechanism that absorbs rotational impact and ensures easy part replacement for safety, customisation and allowing seamless disassembly at the end of its life. Myco offers a cheaper, safer, and eco-conscious helmet alternative.
