Within visual design Leo has helped customers with identity work from overall brand development, names and logos, advertising and brochures to exhibitions and websites. Graduated in Illustration and Visual Communication from Birmingham City University (1976) Leo has worked as Technical Illustrator, Graphic Designer and Art Director before concentrating on visual and product design. The man behind the Xavior SeaTurtle is Leo Griffin, a Brit living in the northern part of Denmark for 40+ years. The Ideaal HQ is at the co-working space Syndikatet in Aalborg, Denmark. They work with the development of physical products and digital services based on the users. Our technical partner is the design company Ideaal – or as they call themselves “Design Thinkers and Doers”. We only work with low volume rapid production based on specific orders. That way we avoid producing for stock and using ressources – be it energy or plastic – on products that there might not be any demand for. You will find PLA in many applications such as automotive parts, clothing, carpet fibres, food packaging – and when it comes to rPLA, also in the Xavior SeaTurtle. PLA is up to 100 per cent biodegradable plastic produced from renewable resources such as sugar beet, sugar cane, wheat, potato, maize, cassava and cellulose. It is an active player in green chemistry through its significant reduction of the carbon footprint compared to oil-based traditional plastics. The thermoplastic polyester PLA (polylactic acid or polylactide) – the most widely used plastic filament material in 3D printing – is the first plastic of its kind produced from renewable resources.
For the production of Xavior SeaTurtle, we use recycled PLA, also known as rPLA.
