Smart nets for
selective fishery
7 million tons of
unwanted bycatch
are thrown dead back
into the sea every year - one
of the main causes for over-
fshing and a big challenge
to stop food waste.
SafetyNet creates Smart
Lightening devices for
Selective Fishery - the
technology uses specifc
light spectrums to attract
and de-attract fsh species
selectively into the nets.
This avoids by catch and
fghts overfshing.
In G4I, SafetyNet will
operate a pilot in Indonesia,
putting 120 lightening
devices to work and
analyzing its success.
2
billion people on the
planet have no access to
sanitation due to a lack
of sufcient infrastructures
such as sewers, water or
latrine maintenance.
Sani Solar is a sun powered
drying toilet providing a
maintenance free and
sewer-independent sanitation
solution for hot climate zones.
In G4I, SaniSolar
implements a pilot with up
to 20 devices in the
Northeast of Brazil.
