Bio NanoCarriers that make agrochemicals more sustainable.
About us
At Unibaio we developed a biodegradable ingredient that optimize the delivery of agrochemicals to lower their application doses and toxicity levels. UNIBAIO's particles can be used by pesticides companies to modify their formulations to: 1) be approved by the strictest environmental regulations without replacing the chemicals being used by farmers, 2) reduce manual operation, lowering farmer's application costs, 3) improve yield & competitiveness. Our particles can be used in any kind of pesticide and fertilizers, from the traditional chemical ones to the bio/organic ones. Our nanocarriers are made of natural compounds like shrimp waste & clay using a circular model.
