From Waste to Bio-based Nanoparticles
The move toward green chemistry processes makes discovery and commercialization of natural products as green pesticides an attractive pursuit. In this context, agricultural waste is gaining a renewed importance since they could be considered part of an effective bioeconomy strategy by their transformation into value-added products such as essential oils (EOs). WaBioNaPhy aims to transform agricultural waste in resource to elaborate an economically viable, environmentally tools based on alginate nanoparticles charged with EOs and fungal metabolites to control plant diseases.

Maker
University of Tuscia - Department for Innovation in Biological, Agro-Food and Forest Systems
I’m a doctor in the protection of plants and environment. I previously worked on other project (WaNaPhy2.0). I became a maker because I believe that collaboration between researchers and industrial companies is essential to transform scientific research into real-world impact.
