Taiwanese Manufactures use Photoelectric Buoys and Waste Fishing Net to contribute to Environmental Awareness

Marine pollution and depletion of fishing catch are serious issues. With the rise of environmental awareness, experts, scholars, and manufacturers are constantly researching to maintain the cleanness of the ocean to ensure the source of fishing is sustained. Currently, Aquaculture production will be exceeding wild fishing, although the limited vacancy of land due to natural and human destruction coupled with fresh water shortage. The trend of land aquaculture has become a trend and pioneered the emerge of "Marine Ranching" and "Aquaculture Net". Building a "marine granary" near the sea will be the main option for this industry, as it will reduce wild fishing, allowing various fish species to grow at ease, and reducing carbon footprint, Furthermore, it can reduce costs and improve efficiency, making it the best production mode.

Kato Electric- self-developed and environmentally friendly "solar electric buoy"
In addition to changing farming methods to protect the ocean, Taiwanese manufacturers are also striving to be environmentally friendly on their fishing equipment. Professional large-scale vessel instrument manufacturer "Kato Electric" has always focused on self-developed electric buoy-related equipment. A full range of solar electric buoys, such as "radio buoys", "remote control electric buoys", and "satellite positioning GPS electric buoys", has improved power management methods and floating body design. They are small in size, light in weight, strong in structure, easy to use, and have built-in high brightness LED lights, which can be compatible with navigation equipment on fishing vessels, such as Fang Tan Frequency selective pager or GPS receiver, which can effectively improve the convenience and efficiency fishing boats at low cost. Implements the concept of sustainable development of marine ecology, the bouys are powered by solar energy keeping the ocean from more pollution.

King Net Marine Technology - Transforming Waste Fishing Nets into 'High-Value Raw Materials"
To solve the problem of marine waste, Taiwan's largest and the second largest fishing net manufacturer in the world, King Net Marine Technology, and Formosa Chemical worked together to establish a recycling channel for waste fishing nets. Through chemical methods, waste fishing nets were melted, dispersed, refined, filtered, purified, and regenerated into the raw material Caprolactam of nylon, then re-made into nylon, which can be made into high-performance clothing or high-value raw materials, and implement the circular economy. Favored by foreign manufacturers compared to petrochemical refining, the method of recycling and reproducing waste fishing nets can save electricity by up to 15% and reduce carbon emissions by up to 49%.
