Enabling performance and scalability of biopesticides through microplastic-free delivery systems

Biological crop protection products hold enormous potential to reshape agriculture, yet their commercial success is often limited not by biological efficacy, but by formulation, stability, and field performance constraints. Nanomnia addresses this gap by developing biodegradable, microplastic-free delivery systems designed to unlock the full value of biopesticides.

Nanomnia specializes in nano- and micro-encapsulation technologies that protect sensitive biological actives such as natural extracts, essential oils, peptides, microbes and microbial metabolites, pheromones and other biobased compounds, shielding them from environmental stresses including UV radiation, oxidation, hydrolysis and temperature fluctuations. By tailoring carrier materials and release profiles, Nanomnia enables improved shelf-life, controlled release, and consistent performance under real field conditions, supporting the generation of robust stability data and reproducible product behaviour required for regulatory evaluation.

Nanomnia shares insights from real development projects illustrating how delivery technologies can accelerate the transition from laboratory proof-of-concept to scalable, registrable products. This perspective addresses common formulation bottlenecks in biological crop protection, outlines strategies to enhance robustness without compromising sustainability, and highlights how formulation decisions directly impact regulatory readiness, compliance with evolving sustainability frameworks, and market adoption. Nanomnia’s approach positions formulation not as a downstream technical step, but as a strategic lever for making biopesticides reliable, competitive, and commercially viable, without relying on persistent synthetic polymers.
