In Sweden, a newly developed eco friendly deicing mixture is replacing traditional road salt that often harms birds and wildlife. The innovative formula, made from beetroot extract and cornstarch, melts ice effectively while also being safe for animals to consume, preventing dangerous dehydration caused by high sodium levels.
Environmental groups and scientists see this as a major step forward, combining road safety with wildlife protection. The creators of the project hope it will inspire similar sustainable solutions in cold regions around the world.
