UNFO-PLS: Smart technology
for healthier cities

UNFO-PLS is a patented device, designed and distributed by Martec to combat the proliferation
of mosquitoes in urban drainage gullies. Simple yet highly effective, this solution offers
a concrete contribution to environmental sustainability and improved quality of life in cities.

 

A choice
that defines us

We have always believed that innovation does not need to be complex: often the simplest solutions are the ones that generate real change. UNFO-PLS uses no pesticides, requires no electricity and fits easily onto existing drainage gullies. It is made from recycled plastic material and is designed to ensure long-lasting durability and high effectiveness in controlling larval breeding sites. An effectiveness confirmed by independent tests conducted in Switzerland by SUPSI, which recorded a reduction of over 95% in larval breeding sites.

How it works

The system works in a completely mechanical way:

With the valve closed,
it prevents mosquitoes from
accessing stagnant water

With light rain,
it partially opens
to allow water to drain

With heavy rain,
it opens fully
to prevent waterlogging

A simple system, but precisely engineered to stop the problem at its source,
without polluting or disrupting the natural balance.

A product with
growth potential

UNFO-PLS is a ready-to-use product, but with vast untapped potential. Its intrinsic characteristics — sustainability, safety and infrastructure compatibility — make it ideal for integration and valorisation within locally, nationally or European-funded projects. Martec, drawing on its expertise, is ready to actively collaborate with public bodies, companies and project partners to contribute to the spread of positive-impact solutions.
