Environmentally friendly fishing wire with luminescence
Environmentally friendly fishing wire with luminescence
It’s an entirely Portuguese solution and promises to transform the fishing industry globally. It’s designed using nanotechnology and advanced materials, and it has in its constitution phosphorescent pigments. When activated by a specific radiation, the wire gains luminescence, a technique widely used in fishing to attract fish, but with much less environmental impact, because it is a cleaner solution that significantly reduces pollution levels.
The innovation factor
The great innovation of this project was the specific application of this technology to the fishing industry, a sector that contributes greatly to maritime pollution, one of the biggest environmental problems that our planet faces. This solution can be transverse to other areas and sectors, acquiring new functionalities such as decoration and lighting.
This pioneering equipment has a strong global impact on the use of new technologies applied to the industry as well as the reduction of maritime pollution.
FishFiberLight is the result of a partnership between CeNTI and Cadilhe & Santos, a Portuguese reference company in the fisheries sector, and was co-financed by Portugal 2020 under the Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalização do Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento Regional (FEDER).
