What Biohm does

Biohm Limited is a London-based, privately held research and development company founded in 2016 that develops regenerative biotechnologies for the built environment. It operates a portfolio of biological products under a biotech division, anchored by its Mycelium-based insulation materials — grown from fungal roots — designed as ultra-low-carbon alternatives to conventional construction products such as cement and synthetic insulation. Beyond Mycelium, the company markets Bioremediation (biological cleanup of contaminated environments), Orb, Triagomy (biological systems analysis and material development), and Terraphyll (a plant-based or bio-derived material for built-environment applications).

Biohm's core technology is proprietary mycelium composite biotechnology, described in the data as a domain-specialized differentiator with strong advantage strength. The company pursues a 'biosynergy' philosophy, framing its products as regenerative systems that decouple industrial activity from ecological harm. It has earned a dense recognition profile — including the Index Award 2021, IET Innovation Award (2017), Mayor's Entrepreneur Award (2017), UNEP Young Champions of Earth Regional Finalist (2018), COINS Grand Challenge Global Leadership Award (2018), Climate KIC Pioneer, and Hello Tomorrow Top 500 DeepTech Startups — and holds core strategic partnerships with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, UN Environment Programme, UK Green Building Council, Biomimicry Institute, Autodesk, and Waitrose & Partners.

Commercially, Biohm sells direct to enterprise customers in the construction and real-estate sector under a B2B model with global distribution scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no end-customer logos or contract values are available in the source data. The company has 11–50 employees, is headquartered in London (Biohm Ltd., UK Companies House registration 10271534), operates a multi-channel marketing footprint (organic social, newsletter, PR/earned media including HSBC climate-tech features), and has no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or institutional investors in the available data — consistent with an early-stage, award- and partnership-funded venture in the pre-commercial or early-pilot stage.

Core offering

Biohm manufactures and supplies bio-based construction materials developed from food waste and biological systems, including mycelium-grown insulation, bioremediation technology, and plant-based materials (Terraphyll). Its products are designed as ultra-low-carbon, biodegradable alternatives to conventional building inputs such as cement and synthetic insulation for the built environment sector.

Product overview

Biohm is a multi-award winning research and development company developing scalable biotechnologies that harmonise cultural and natural systems. The company offers a portfolio of biological products under its biotech division, including Mycelium-based materials (serving as insulation solutions), Bioremediation technology, Orb, and Triagomy. The product line also extends to Terraphyll, a plant-derived material. These products collectively target the construction and built environment sector, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional materials through regenerative biotechnologies, advancing toward biosynergy—a philosophy of operating without impeding other species' evolutionary pathways.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Mogu: Italian mycelium-materials company producing acoustic panels, flooring, and wall coverings from fungal mycelium and upcycled agricultural residues. Directly competes with Biohm in bio-based interior and architectural materials for the built environment.
• Bolt Threads: US bio-materials company developing mycelium-based leather alternatives (Mylo) and bio-based proteins. Comparable to Biohm as a venture-backed bio-fabrication peer operating in bio-based structural materials with a similar technology platform.
• Ecovative Design: US-based pioneer in mycelium-grown packaging, insulation, and materials (MycoComposite, Forager). Directly comparable to Biohm because it uses fungal mycelium as a structural input for construction-adjacent applications and is the leading commercial player in the same technology category.

Broad incumbents

• Steico: European market leader in natural fibre insulation boards, I-joists and timber products made from wood fibre, hemp, and flax. Comparable to Biohm as the established incumbent in bio-based insulation with scale distribution — represents the category Biohm aspires to disrupt.

Emerging players

• MycoTechnology: US fermentation/mycelium platform originally focused on food (ClearSweet) and now expanding into materials and bioremediation. Comparable to Biohm as a fellow mycelium-fermentation platform with adjacent applications in sustainability and bioremediation.
• Woodoo: French biotech augmenting wood at the molecular level to create high-performance sustainable building materials. Comparable to Biohm as a European biotech startup using biology to transform traditional construction materials into low-carbon alternatives.
• Hempcrete / Industrial Hemp Building: Established bio-based insulation and building-material category using hemp shiv and lime. Competes with Biohm in the low-carbon construction insulation market with a different bio-input but identical end-use and customer profile.

Regional players

• BioBased Systems (bio-based insulation): US manufacturer of bio-based spray-foam insulation (BioBased 501w) from soybean oil. Overlaps with Biohm as a bio-based insulation competitor targeting the same building-envelope decarbonization demand, though using a different feedstock platform.

Others

• Biohm (competitor set: MyceliumMaterials companies): Anchor reference — included only for completeness as the subject company.
• Autodesk (construction-tech ecosystem partner): Design and construction-software platform and a stated Biohm partner (Autodesk Entrepreneur Impact Partner). Relevant as an enabling ecosystem participant and indirect channel for embedding Biohm's materials into mainstream construction workflows.
