How Sweden’s Beeswax-Coated Snow Poles Keep Roads Safe for Wildlife — Nature’s Smartest Roadside Innovation

 

Sweden came up with a more beautiful solution to a fatal issue beeswax-coated snow poles that lead wildlife off the highways in snowy winters.

Why the Innovation Matters

The animal related road accidents are prevalent in the northern part of Europe. In order to avoid collisions, the solution that Sweden has chosen is completely natural, based on its passion towards nature and sustainability.

How It Works

Beewax covers the poles and emits the scent of a natural smell. It helps drivers as well - the poles become more noticeable when there is a heavy snowfall and skidding and navigation problems are minimized.

Sustainability at Its Core

The beeswax is ethically sourced and each pole employs it to help the local beekeepers as well as minimize the use of chemical deterrents. The poles are biodegradable and they have no footprint to the environment.

Green Innovation that Saves Lives.

Previous experiments have already demonstrated that wildlife collisions have been reduced dramatically. Sweden has set an example to the rest of the world to keep the road a humane place since it protects not only the animals but the drivers as well.

Beyond Sweden

Cold climatic countries are now looking into this strategy, and this is proving that innovation does not necessarily have to be high-tech.

Summary: The Sweetest Thing of Safety.

Through saving lives with the help of beeswax, Sweden demonstrates that sustainability and empathy can put the safe and sweet world on the right way - literally.
