ARCSTAR / Floating Floes

The non-profit initiative „Project ARCSTAR“ is a year-round program for the short- and longterm preservation and regeneration of climate change-melting Arctic sea ice. With the help of white, floating, highly mobile floes, large areas of the dark ocean can be covered and the average water and ambient temperature lowered. Made from biowaste materials, these slowly degrading biocomposite structures can facilitate the freezing process and form new sea ice themselves. As a result, the ice in the world‘s comparatively stronger warming environment is preserved longer and can proactively counteract climate change.
