Founded in 2015 by Mahadev Chikkanna and Shruthi Ramesh, Mynusco is a Bangalore-based startup dedicated to revolutionizing industries with sustainable, bio-based solutions.
At its core, Mynusco is not just a biomaterials company but a platform for the circular economy, fostering collaboration between industries, communities, and consumers to develop eco-friendly, resource-efficient solutions.
Tackling the Challenge of Sustainability
As the world faces an urgent climate crisis, Mynusco is addressing one of the most critical challenges of our time, which is the need for sustainable materials.
Traditional industries are heavily reliant on plastic and fossil-based products, which contribute significantly to environmental degradation, resource depletion, and pollution.
Mynusco is solving this problem by offering bio-based, biodegradable, and recyclable biomaterials, providing industries with a viable alternative to plastic.
The company’s vision is not limited to just offering materials, it aims to transform the entire economic system into a sustainable, circular model.
This involves facilitating the seamless transition for businesses to adopt circular economy principles, where resources are continually reused, waste is minimized, and carbon footprints are reduced.
Biomaterials for a Circular Bio-Economy
Mynusco offers a wide range of biocomposites made from fast-renewable resources, including bamboo, rice husk, coir, and more.
These materials are sourced from crop residues, waste, and other natural resources, helping to reduce waste while offering a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics.
The startup’s product portfolio includes BioPur (compostable materials for packaging and disposables) and BioDur (durable materials for automotive, furniture, and other heavy-duty applications).
The materials are not only biodegradable and recyclable but are also produced using minimal energy and water, further enhancing their sustainability.
With certifications for food contact, safety, and compliance with international environmental standards, Mynusco’s products ensure that both the planet and consumers benefit from their use.
Empowering Businesses and Communities
Mynusco’s platform is designed to be a catalyst for circular economy adoption.
Its Biocomposites Center of Excellence supports businesses with a full range of services, including material selection, product development, and life cycle assessments.
This holistic approach enables industries to reduce their environmental impact while meeting their performance and economic goals.
Beyond offering products, Mynusco is focused on social impact.
The company works closely with farmers to prevent the burning of crop residues, a practice that contributes to air pollution, and provides them with additional income by turning this waste into valuable biomaterials.
This not only reduces environmental pollution but also supports rural economies.
A Vision for the Future
From its inception in 2015, Mynusco has been committed to developing innovative solutions that address both environmental and economic challenges.
The company’s approach is based on the belief that a sustainable future is possible when businesses, communities, and consumers unite around a shared vision.
Mynusco envisions a world where profit is not just about economic growth but also about ecological and social well-being.
The startup’s commitment to sustainability extends to its operations and partnerships.
Mynusco’s collaboration with leading automotive companies and consumer product brands underscores the growing demand for sustainable solutions across industries.
The company also pioneers in using cutting-edge technology, including AI-powered material selection tools and blockchain-based traceability systems, to ensure transparency and build trust in the sustainability of its products.
Inspiring Global Change
Mynusco’s work is a testament to the potential of biomaterials to drive meaningful change. By turning waste into valuable resources and providing scalable, eco-friendly solutions, Mynusco is helping to build a circular economy that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
As the world continues to grapple with climate change, Mynusco is showing that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand, offering a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
The Path Forward
As Mynusco looks toward the future, its founders remain focused on expanding the reach of its innovative materials and growing its network of partners.
With a deep commitment to social, ecological, and economic impacts, Mynusco is set to continue its journey as a champion of sustainability, driving the transformation toward a circular bio-economy.
The company’s message is clear: it’s not just about offering products, but about creating a lasting, positive impact on the planet for generations to come.
