Artic Biomaterials clinches the prestigious “Bio-based Material of the Year” Innovation Award for its PLA reinforced with Glass Fibre

Artic Biomaterials Biobased PLA reinforced Glass Fibre Arctic Biomaterials Oy (Finland) clinches the prestigious Bio-based Material of the Year” Innovation Award for its PLA reinforced with glass fibre that erodes back to harmless minerals in the composting environment.

Arctic Biomaterials Oy was declared the winner of the “Bio-based Material of the Year” Innovation Award at the “11th International Conference on Bio-based Materials”, 15-16 May 2018 in Cologne, Germany (www.bio-based-conference.com) after being voted by the attendees.

The Innovation Award “Bio-based Material of the Year” is awarded every year to the young, innovative bio-based chemicals and materials industry for finding suitable applications and materials for bio-based products.

Based on the entries received, a jury will nominate the outstanding “Top 6” applicants for presentation at the conference. The applicants give a short presentation of their innovation in the Annual International Conference. Following the presentations, the audience will choose the three winners, who will be presented the awards.

ArcBioxTM BGF30-B1, a Polylactic Acid (PLA), has used LFT (long fibre) technology with the reinforcement of glass fibres. According to the new innovation, bio-based plastics can now be used in technically demanding durable applications with still having the option of compostability at the end of life.

Several other bio-based polymers can also use the newly developed glass fibre. This composite material reduces the carbon footprint and use of non-renewable energy of a composite product considerably in comparison to fossil-based reinforced plastics. DIN CERTCO  has certified this reinforced PLA with seedling mark.

Arctic Biomaterials Oy produces biodegradable plastic solutions for the medical and technical industries. In the medical field, bioresorbable composite solutions offer increased strength. In the technical field, the company offers biodegradable composite solutions for demanding technical applications in an environmentally friendly manner.
