      Plastic waste, especially discarded fishing nets, and electroplating sludges pose significant environmental challenges, impacting marine ecosystems and contributing to pollution. In alga cultivation, invasive microorganisms often hinder growth, necessitating strategies to combat these issues. This study aimed to develop recycled substrates for alga cultivation by repurposing fishing nets and enhancing their surfaces with antibacterial properties using copper oxide (CuO). Additionally, it explores the reuse of CuO from electroplating sludge, providing a sustainable solution that addresses both marine and industrial waste while supporting healthy alga development. Recycled substrates were produced, with different proportions of pure CuO and sludge (1 and 2 wt%) incorporated on the surface. These compositions were processed by hot compression molding and then the antibacterial activity was characterized using a qualitative and quantitative method. The results indicate the possibility of recycling fishing net into new substrates to alga cultivation and the functionalization of their surface using CuO as an antibacterial agent. The antibacterial tests showed a better activity for pure CuO compared to the residual sludge, and better for the higher surface concentration of 2 wt%. Despite the limited bacterial inhibition observed, there is an opportunity for reusing these sludges, typically disposed of in landfills, to obtain specific antibacterial agents that can be applied to the surface of substrates for algal growth.
