I present Myco: a sustainable cycle helmet that revolutionises material innovation, safety and fashion. It’s crafted from recyclable materials and a biodegradable mycelium inner shell, compostable after three years, releasing zero toxins. This material replaces the use of expanding polystyrene foam, a non-biodegradable material that takes over 500 years to decompose with the production of which is being banned in over 70 cities. Myco’s 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.
