Innovative climate control with fungi.
Biopex is a biological composite panel made from plant waste and mushroom spawn, developed for ceiling heating and cooling. It insulates as well as polystyrene and is far harder to ignite.
100% recyclableHemp + myceliumPlants and fungi instead of oil.
As the world turns to sustainable production models, Biopex from Bioiklim is an important starting point. After long research, R&D work and successful tests, the Biopex Composite Panel has reached a producible stage.
With its thermal properties it delivers unique heating and cooling performance on all surfaces, especially ceilings; it improves building insulation and lowers energy costs in the long term.
Biopex and polystyrene, side by side.
| Property | Biopex | Polystyrene (EPS) |

For the same climate in all four seasons.
To keep a building the same in all four seasons, the smart home of the future needs insulation, renewable energy and a strong distribution network. Biopex was made for distributing PEXa pipes and makes it possible to meet all of this with 100% recyclable material.
Technology inspired by nature.
A biological approach
A rare infrastructure that starts from a renewable energy source and reaches the user’s comfort through liquid circulation.
Innovation and efficiency
It replaces petroleum-based materials and offers an economical solution while increasing energy efficiency. The main road to zero-energy buildings.
A greener world
Using Biopex reduces the carbon footprint and helps control greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
