How it's madeMimmik Tile

Mimmik Tile is the first-ever tile that grows with the help of bacteria, now produced on an industrial scale. It's the solution to drastically reduce your carbon footprint.

Our partner Biomason learned how nature grows through one of its most robust and enduring structures: coral. Taking inspiration from marine ecosystems, Biomason is on a path to greatly minimise carbon emissions in the production of building materials.

Biomimicry - Copying Nature

StoneCycling + Biomason BioBasedTile Process
Traditional cement production accounts for 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Without radical change, building our world’s infrastructure destroys our chance at a healthy and safe future.
StoneCycling + Biomason BioBasedTile Process
We learned how nature grows through one of its most robust and enduring structures: coral. Taking inspiration from marine ecosystems, we’re eliminating the need to emit carbon to produce building materials.
StoneCycling + Biomason BioBasedTile Process
For over 200 years, traditional cement production has released carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The binder of the Mimmik Tile is a multi-patented process that harnesses carbon the same way nature does, preventing emissions. Biomason combines carbon and calcium to produce the binder.

Production and Testing

Biocement®: The Cement Manufacturing Process Revolutionized with Biotechnology
The Mimmik Tile consists of 15% biocement and various other ingredients such as waste materials from granite production.
StoneCycling + Biomason BioBasedTile Process
Our production partner developed a custom moulding and shaping process to transform this unique recipe into various sizes, shapes, and textures.
StoneCycling + Biomason BioBasedTile Process
After being released from the mould, the products now have to cure for about 72 hours (compared to 28 days with traditional cement) at ambient temperature. After drying they are ready to get packed and shipped to our clients.

All products are carefully tested according to American and European standards. Testing is done internally and externally by specialized independent organizations.

We’re looking forward to creating beautiful and sustainable buildings together!
