GROWING THE FUTURE

AT MONTERR, WE CULTIVATE LIVING SYSTEMS — FUNGI & MYCELIUM — TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE BIOMATERIALS, COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING, AND MATERIALS FOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE.

FUNGI

FUNGI

We are a design and research laboratory based in Mexico City, operating at the intersection of science, art, and sustainability.
Our mission: integrate living systems, fungi and biomaterials into design and medicine to cultivate a future where technology, ecology, and regenerative materials coexist in harmony.

Why Mycelium?

  • Strong & Lightweight

  • 100% Compostable & Biodegradable

  • Regenerative Alternative to Plastics

Mycelial networks are nature’s most resilient and complex systems — lightweight, durable, and fully biodegradable.

At Monterr, we harness this living architecture to design sustainable, circular packaging and biomaterials that outperform conventional plastics.

100% biodegradable

Mycelium-based materials are strong, lightweight, and fully compostable, offering a regenerative and intelligent alternative to plastic and styrofoam packaging in a world urgently seeking sustainable materials.

  • Compostable mycelium packaging developed by Monterr Pack, eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam in Mexico.

    MONTERR PACK

    Eco packaging solutions that replace traditional plastics and styrofoam.
    Lightweight, compostable, and entirely grown — not built.

    MONTERR STUDIO

    From interiors to installations, we apply mycelium-based biomaterials in architecture and objects that blur the line between biology and design.
