Nanoco Technologies Recognized for Innovation
in Sustainable Plant Growth
Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development
and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other
nanomaterials, today announced it was honored with a Silver Edison
Award in the category of Applied Technology: Horticulture for its
cadmium-free CFQD® quantum dot technology for LED grow lighting and
Deep Red CFQD® Quantum Dot Film for sustainable plant growth.
Presented at a recent gala in New York City, the annual Edison
Awards -- named after Thomas Alva Edison – honors the best in
innovation and excellence in the development of new products and
services.
“We’re honored to receive this prestigious award for Nanoco’s
cadmium-free CFQD ®quantum dot technology and Deep Red CFQD®
Quantum Dot Film,” said Michael Edelman, chief executive officer of
Nanoco. “Receiving this honor from an esteemed program like the
Edison Awards is a reflection of the leadership and commitment
Nanoco has shown in introducing a non-toxic, cadmium-free quantum
dot technology to the market as an innovative and sustainable
platform enabler for a broad range of applications including
display, lighting, biomedicine and solar. Due to their ability to
emit pure colors and be easily tuned to custom wavelengths, quantum
dots open up a new world in LED lighting for retail, architecture,
agriculture, and other applications where color quality makes all
the difference.”
The Nanoco Deep Red CFQD® Quantum Dot Film is the first of its
kind in sustainable plant growth. Free of heavy metals, the film,
when combined with blue and/or near-UV LEDs, maximizes chlorophyll
absorption to promote healthy and improved growth while minimizing
energy consumption. Utilizing the cadmium-free quantum dot film
allows custom individual color selection for customers based on the
particular plant or product being grown, and provides excellent
uniformity of light with greatly reduced heat output compared to
traditional sources, allowing the lights to be placed in proximity
to the plants for maximum yield and plant quality.
The Edison Awards recognition has become one of the highest
accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation and
business. Submissions for the Edison Awards were judged by a panel
of more than 3,000 leading business executives including past award
winners, academics and leaders in the fields of product
development, design, engineering, science and medical.
