Every year 1,8 million megatonnes of local lignocellulosic biomass comes available in The Netherlands alone. More than enough to fuel the transition towards a regional and biobased economy. Fairm wants to become the country’s biggest upcycler of these resources.

Our fermentation technology enables us to upcycle this regional biomass. The particles are bound together by mycelium, creating a composite material: Fairm Foam. This process requires little energy as the growth of the organism is fueled by the energy stored in the fibers.

We developed a method that allows for the materials industrial production making it affordable and widely available. This is crucial for successful adaptation in construction industry and creating an as big as possible positive impact. Luckily, we are not alone and part of a movement that strives for healthy,carbon storing buildings made with local, low impact materials within circular systems.

Instead of creating materials without considering their whole lifecycle we have developed a cascading strategy for optimal end-of-life handling of Fairm Foams. After being used, reused and re-purposed, Fairm Foams can always be recycled back into their base building blocks ensuring infinite material loops.
