Ideally, all materials would be made from renewable resources AND recycled. The ugly truth is, neither is currently probable. Together we can change this - step by step.

Arctic Biomaterials is one of the companies participating in the Bioplastics Europe project. Check out their illustrative video explaining bio-based plastics.
Have you ever wondered what bio-based plastics are? You might be surprised to hear that there is no worldwide consent on the use of that term. If you want to learn more about it and hear how we interpret the term, watch this quick video: https://t.co/FaAsOyPMmC via @YouTube
The ABM glass fiber technology can be used to strengthen bioresorbable implants or biodegradable plastics.
The presentation of our glass scientist Erik Vedel illustrates the properties and history of such glasses in the context of medical applications:

Both companies attend the @PlasticFreeExpo / @Greener_expo this week (9-10 Nov) in Cologne.
Join us to learn about bio-based and biodegradable glass fiber reinforced compounds and the new collaboration!

#TGMSE2022
Arctic Biomaterials will be presenting their #biobased compounds, as well as degradable glass fibers at the Greener Manufacturing Show (Cologne 09-10 Nov 2022) this year as well.

The General Assembly meeting of @bioplastics_eu was held last week in Rome.
Arctic Biomaterials is one of the project partners and presented their degradable glass fiber based composites for reusable cutlery applications.

Today R&D Director Ari Rosling gives a talk at the 7th PLA World Congress by @bioplasticsmag.
The talk is titled "Exploring advanced biocomposites based on biodegradable bioplastics and degradable glass fibre reinforcements".

In the 5th article of the bioplastics europe newsletter Aleksi Palmroth and Ari Rosling from Arctic Biomaterials, Finland talk about how the switch from companies from production to bio-based biodegradable plastic to different alternatives must be economical.
We present a new #biobased composite with excellent impact resistance and good heat tolerance, combined with fast injection molding cycle times.
The new material shows better toughness than high impact ABS also after 1 year of outdoor exposure.

@HaraldKaeb 👆Absolutely! Yet, perhaps slightly confusingly, durable applications can be achieved with biodegradable bio-based plastics (such as PLA) as well.
Biobased, biodegradable, compostable ⁉️
They all have the potential to bring advantages over traditional plastics.
But we must assess if they deliver on their promises & under what conditions.
Be part of our work to prepare the right policy framework 👉🏼 https://t.co/dIXfNWWLTp
@KalleSaarimaa Biohajoavuus voi olla hyödyksi esimerkiksi kuluvissa tuotteissa, joista irtoaa pieniä partikkeleita.
Myös Nova-instituutti on tutkinut ja listannut sovelluskohteita, joissa biohajoavuus on etu. Raportti on saatavilla ilmaiseksi:

@KalleSaarimaa Ketjua lukeville voi olla hyvä täsmentää, että moni biohajoava muovi on samalla myös biopohjainen, eli valmistettu uusiutuvista raaka-aineista.
Näistä muoveista voidaan valmistaa hyvinkin pitkäikäisiä tuotteita, ja niitä on teknisesti mahdollista myös kierrättää.
