1. A method for producing a bio-based material, the method comprising:
obtaining a waste material, wherein at least a portion of the waste material comprises gypsum;
preparing a growth medium, wherein at least a portion of the growth medium comprises the waste material;
incubating the growth medium with at least one bioremediating composition to generate a molded growth material, wherein the at least one bioremediating composition comprises at least one fungal culture, wherein the incubation results in a reduction of toxins and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the molded growth material as compared to the level of toxins and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the growth medium prior to incubation;
and producing a bio-based material from the molded growth material.
