ArcBiox A1008 has shown particularly great results for outdoor applications.” Unless fast degradation is a desired feature, we only continue with materials that perform well under these extreme circumstances. All ArcBiox materials go through accelerated outdoor testing in our solar cabinet. ArcBiox A1008 stands out due to its excellent weatherability.Īri Rosling, the R&D director at Arctic Biomaterials explains: “ We want to provide all the necessary material information for our customers, including long-term aging data. This means that they bind carbon from the atmosphere. All ArcBiox A-series materials are high-impact materials based on renewable poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The Butterfly feeders are made using weather-resistant and easily colourable ArcBiox A1008. The colours of the oasis have been designed to attract butterflies, and the small holes prohibit other insects from feeding from the oasis. The Belightful Butterfly Oasis contains butterfly nectar, which the butterflies can smell from as far as 10 kilometers distance. However, the oasis should be considered as an add-on to butterfly breeding plants, instead of as their replacement” says Belightful Design co-founder Miia Liesegang. “ We wanted to create something that is fun and brings nature closer to everyday life, as it relieves stress and is beneficial for well-being in many ways. The Butterfly Oasis offers a fun way to support butterflies locally, and for example to teach children about the importance of pollinators and biodiversity. Their first product is a butterfly oasis, which is injection moulded from bio-based ArcBiox™ A-series.īutterflies are important pollinators and good biodiversity indicators that have seen a dramatic population decline in Europe (-50%) during the past 25 years.
