About MyCeNova

Made with nature,
created to regenerate

Built on a first-mover IP edge and Ecuador’s first rural biofabrication model at scale, we redefine how industries source and grow materials. By valorizing underutilized agricultural residues, we lay the foundation for a multi-sector platform that reshapes extractive systems and drives systemic change.

The global context

Why packaging and construction
need reinvention

These sectors rely on energy-intensive production, extractive supply chains, and non-renewable resources. We close this gap by growing circular materials that replace high-impact inputs and foster the transition to regenerative industries.

Major contributors
to climate change

From raw material extraction to manufacturing, packaging and construction account for a large share of global emissions, contributing to pollution and resource depletion.

Built for disposal,
not circularity

These industries generate millions of tons of waste each year, yet most of it ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment, accelerating ecological degradation.

Conventional materials
dominate the market

Legacy materials like plastics, EPS, MDF, and gypsum still dominate these sectors despite their high environmental footprint, making them incompatible with a low-carbon economy.

The local opportunity

Ecuador’s high biomass-residue
provinces generate over
350 tons/km²

Ecuador holds a unique tropical agroecosystem, producing large volumes of banana, coconut, cacao, coffee, and pineapple residues, yet most are burned, discarded, or left to decompose, untapping their high-value potential.

“What if this vast stream of residual biomass
is turned into value?”

The question MyCeNova was built to answer
Mission
Mission
Build a rural bioeconomy

To upcycle tropical agro-residues into high-value bio-based solutions through territorial rural hubs, transforming extractive industries, advancing sustainable development, and activating circular value chains.

Vision
Vision
The next industrial leap

A world where communities become producers, regenerative materials set the norm, and residual biomass becomes a strategic feedstock, powering the next generation of industries across emerging economies.

Values
Values & Ethics
Innovation by nature

Guided by collaboration, inclusivity, and integrity, we build long-term regenerative solutions that create economic, environmental, and social value while accelerating the transition toward a circular bioeconomy.

How we scale

The Circular Growth Model

While conventional materials rely on centralized, high-CapEx production, we pioneer lean rural biofabrication hubs led by women and youth cooperatives. These hubs grow high-value biomaterials, creating economic opportunities, expanding production capacity, and delivering positive climate impact.
