Flush Life Science

BIOLOGY × MATERIAL SCIENCE

Materials,
regrown.

A new material language for the built world. We’re developing mycelium-based composites that bring recovered fibers into architectural possibility.

NEW THINKING.

Recovered fibers.
Living networks.
New possibilities.

Flush Life Sciences, LLC explores how recycled cardboard wet-lap pulp, agricultural residues and mycelium can become a new generation of building materials.

DESIGNED WITH NATURE.
DEVELOPED THROUGH TESTING.

01 / OUR TECHNOLOGY

From overlooked fibers
to considered materials.

We’re investigating a process where fungal growth binds prepared fibers into forms, followed by controlled drying and finishing. Each step is a variable to understand.

01
≋

Recover & prepare

Recycled cardboard is repulped and dewatered into wet-lap. Agricultural residues contribute fibers to candidate formulations.

02
✳

Grow & bind

Prepared feedstocks are inoculated with mycelium. Controlled growth conditions support exploration of fiber binding and consistency.

03
▱

Form & finish

Molds, pressing and drying define geometry, density and surface character. Process conditions are refined through pilot trials.

04
↗

Measure & refine

Material characterization informs the next formulation, connecting experimental results to the needs of specific applications.

02 / MATERIAL EXPLORATIONS

Grown with purpose.
Shaped for possibility.

Three application directions. One research platform.
All materials are in development and are not currently offered for commercial purchase.

AI-generated concept: Fluted acoustic panelFLS—01 / AI CONCEPT

Acoustic panels

↗

Exploring texture, porosity and form for interior sound absorption.

Development focus

Density, thickness, surface geometry and mounting conditions. Sound absorption is to be evaluated through an application-appropriate test program.

AI-generated concept: Porous insulation board samplesFLS—02 / AI CONCEPT

Insulation boards

↗

Investigating lightweight fiber networks for thermal insulation applications.

Development focus

Thermal conductivity, moisture response and dimensional stability. No R-value or approved assembly is claimed.

AI-generated concept: Molded architectural tilesFLS—03 / AI CONCEPT

Architectural composites

↗

Studying molded forms and expressive surfaces for non-structural design.

Development focus

Surface quality, handling strength, repeatability and finishing. Structural use and installed performance have not been established.

03 / SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN

Value in what
we already have.

Our starting point is recovered and residual feedstock. Our ambition is to create useful materials while understanding the full cost of making them.

01

Rethink the feedstock

Explore new uses for recycled cardboard fibers and agricultural residues.

02

Account for the process

Evaluate energy, water, additives and yield alongside material performance.

03

Design beyond first use

Investigate end-of-life pathways for each formulation and finish.

Environmental benefits are research goals. Carbon footprint, compostability and life-cycle performance have not yet been verified.

04 / PILOT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Possibility meets
measurement.

Our development approach connects feedstock preparation, controlled growth and panel manufacturing with material characterization. Testing requirements will be defined by intended use and applicable building codes.

RESEARCH AREAWHAT WE’RE INVESTIGATING

Thermal behavior

Heat flow, density and the relationship between formulation and insulation performance.

Acoustic response

Sound absorption as a function of thickness, porosity, surface and mounting.

Moisture & durability

Water uptake, vapor transport, dimensional stability and biological resistance.

Mechanical & fire behavior

Handling strength, flexural behavior and application-specific fire testing needs.

DEVELOPMENT → CHARACTERIZATION → VALIDATION

ASTM test methods will be selected with qualified laboratories for the relevant material and application. No ASTM certification, proven fire rating or building-code approval is claimed.

05 / INVESTORS & STRATEGIC PARTNERS

Help shape the next
generation of materials.

We welcome conversations with investors and strategic partners interested in advancing mycelium-based building materials from pilot research toward validated applications.

Start an investor conversation ↗
01 / PROCESS

Build repeatability.

Refine feedstock preparation, controlled growth, forming and drying. Establish consistent batches before pursuing larger-scale production.

02 / PERFORMANCE

Generate evidence.

Characterize thermal, acoustic, mechanical and moisture behavior. Define application-specific ASTM testing with qualified laboratories.

03 / SCALE

Evaluate the pathway.

Investigate manufacturing yield, cycle time, resource use and cost drivers alongside potential application and supply-chain partners.

These are development priorities, not completed milestones. Commercial performance and production economics remain to be established.

06 / BUILD WHAT COMES NEXT

Good materials start
with a conversation.
