Brazilian researchers developed the material using biopolymers extracted from an Amazonian species known as tambatinga as the raw material.
A review article traces the evolution of green nanopesticides research and provides informational systematization in order to help decision-makers classifying new formulations.
Scientists warn that terms such as “sustainable” must be used correctly and that the natural components of these products do not eliminate environmental concerns.
FAPESP-supported startup is developing a biostimulant that regenerates soil and increases the productivity and resilience of various crops.

The chemical compound is used in various industrial processes, but its synthesis is highly polluting. Research involving scientists from the Center for Development of Functional Materials and the Center for Innovation on New Energies, supported by FAPESP, indicates clean ways of obtaining the input.
Project developed in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, allows for the highly efficient extraction of aromatic and bioactive compounds, reducing logistics costs and increasing beer quality.
Work carried out at the State University of Campinas used environmentally friendly solvents and ultrasonic waves to remove the substance and increase its absorption by the body.
One of the world’s leading experts on the fruit, Hervé Rogez, a professor at the Federal University of Pará, warns about the social, environmental, and economic impacts of “açaízation” in the Amazon.
Researchers at the State University of Campinas used a product from native stingless bees to extract bioactive compounds, such as caffeine, from chocolate manufacturing waste. This process adds nutritional and commercial value to an ingredient that is usually discarded.

São Paulo startup develops biodegradable material that resembles branches, leaves, and grass used by pregnant sows in nature to prepare their birthing environment.
The accumulation of these algae on beaches can harm health, tourism, fishing, and biodiversity. They are usually collected and disposed of in landfills, but a study by Brazilian researchers has found a use for the biomass: to produce lightweight ceramic clay aggregates.
The startup uses bacteriophages to prevent mastitis in dairy cows and reduce the use of conventional drugs.
Insper is holding an event supported by FAPESP that will explore key areas for sustainable transformation. Register by August 15.
A study conducted at São Paulo State University characterized the properties of a formulation containing chemically modified flaxseed and Brazil nut oils.
Called BR4, the microorganism breaks down PET and produces PHB, a high-quality biopolymer that can be used to manufacture sustainable packaging and for biomedical applications.
