CHICAGO, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mycocycle, a nature-inspired, woman-owned biotechnology company that uses fungi to transform organic waste into reusable materials, today announced an oversubscribed $3.6 million Seed extension. Closed Loop Partners’ Ventures Group led the round with follow-on investment from the TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good and participation from U.S.

芝加哥，2024年5月8日（环球通讯社）--Myocycle是一家受自然启发的女性拥有的生物技术公司，利用真菌将有机废物转化为可重复使用的材料，今天宣布超额认购360万美元的种子延期。闭环合作伙伴的风险投资集团（Closed Loop Partners'S Ventures Group）领导了这一轮投资，后续投资来自TELUS Pollantor Fund for Good，并有美国的参与。

Venture, Inc. and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity INVENT Fund. The funding brings Mycocycle to $7.3 million raised to date and follows the company’s announcement of a $2.2 million Seed round one year ago. Mycocycle will use the funding to deepen relationships with existing partners for waste materials, further scale its waste-to-value chain, and make key leadership hires for marketing, technology, and operations teams.

Venture，Inc.和伊利诺伊州商业和经济机会部发明基金。该资金使Myocycle迄今筹集到730万美元，此前该公司在一年前宣布了220万美元的种子。Myocycle将利用这笔资金深化与现有废料合作伙伴的关系，进一步扩大其废料价值链，并为营销、技术和运营团队聘请关键领导。

Compared to May 2023, Mycocycle now completes over 10 times as many mycelium-based treatments per month. The company’s bioremediation process blends the treatment with built environment waste (asphalt shingles, rubber, gypsum boards, insulation lining, and old textiles) and transforms it into non-toxic, high-quality raw materials.

与2023年5月相比，Mycocycle现在每月完成的基于菌丝体的治疗数量是现在的10倍多。该公司的生物修复过程将处理与建筑环境废物（沥青瓦、橡胶、石膏板、隔热衬里和旧纺织品）混合，并将其转化为无毒的优质原料。

This circular waste-to-value system diverts some of the roughly 145 million tons of construction debris sent annually to landfills and decarbonizes a sector responsible for nearly a third of annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Mycocycle also helps reduce emissions that are associated with a company's value chain but outside of its direct control.

这种循环废物价值系统将每年运往垃圾填埋场的约1.45亿吨建筑垃圾中的一部分转移，并使一个部门脱碳，该部门的温室气体排放量占美国年度温室气体排放量的近三分之一。Myocycle还有助于减少与公司价值链相关但不在其直接控制范围内的排放。

These emissions, called Scope 3 emissions, come from upstream activity (like raw material production and transport) and downstream activity (like waste disposal). Scope 3 emission reduction is a critical piece of zero-waste corporate responsibility programs. “Mycocycle helps deca.

这些排放被称为范围3排放，来自上游活动（如原材料生产和运输）和下游活动（如废物处理）。范围3减排是零废物企业责任计划的关键部分。“霉菌周期有助于deca。
