CIRCULAR APPROACH IN FISHING GEAR MAKING AND DISCARDED NET MANAGEMENT IN PORTS

The ITS seeks to provide an integrated solution for reducing the amount of marine litter and microplastic from the most relevant European fishery contributors (i.e. demersal trawlers, demersal seiners, tropical tuna purse seiners). It includes the development of 3 different technological prototypes for ropes and fishing nets, as well as a port-based solution model for recovery and recycling of equipment.

WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR MICROPLASTICS REMOVAL

Wasser 3.0 PE-X® REMOVE is an innovative technology that effectively and sustainably removes microplastics from water. This approach utilizes a combination of physical agglomeration and water-induced chemical fixation, known as the Clump & Skim principle.
