Mimmik Tile

Mimmik Tile is a low-carbon biocement floor tile, grown with the help of bacteria instead of fired in a kiln, and produced on an industrial scale by Biomason in Denmark. Preliminary modelling shows approx. 60% lower CO₂ (GWP, A1–A3) than comparable Portland cement-based tiles; a third-party verified EPD is forthcoming. Formerly known as BioBasedTile.
