About

TAFTIRIUM develops sustainable insulation materials by combining agricultural waste with mycelium-based upcycling. The company’s myco-based panels are grown in a low-energy, modular process that fixates carbon and contributes to circular economy practices. The materials are designed for use in construction and insulation applications, offering thermal and acoustic insulation, fire resistance, and low embodied carbon. TAFTIRIUM operates a pilot facility in Kfar Ruppin and plans to scale production to process 10,000 tons of agricultural waste annually. The company targets the global insulation market with a focus on environmental performance and local manufacturing.
