Collaborating with industries, UNIMAS works on innovative wastewater treatment technologies designed to minimize the impact of industrial effluents on aquatic environments. Technologies such as bio-based filtration, membrane filtration systems, and advanced oxidation processes are being developed to treat industrial wastewater before it is discharged into water bodies. These technologies not only help in cleaning the water but also promote resource recovery by extracting valuable materials (e.g., nutrients, metals) from wastewater, which can be reused in industrial processes.

UNIMAS is advancing the use of biodegradable materials as alternatives to conventional plastics. This research focuses on the development of eco-friendly packaging materials, biodegradable fishing nets, and other products that are less harmful to aquatic life when they degrade. These innovations are aimed at reducing plastic waste and minimizing the long-term impact on marine environments, as well as encouraging industries to adopt more sustainable practices.
