Elena Usala, researcher at AINIA, recently participated in the prestigious TAPPI Nano 2025 Conference, held from July 8 to 11 in Girona, Spain, where she presented groundbreaking work on cellulose-based controlled-release fertilizer systems. Her presentation was part of a broader effort to disseminate early results from a joint research project focused on nanocellulose-based delivery systems.

The TAPPI Nano Conference is a global gathering of experts in nanotechnology for renewable materials, offering a platform for cutting-edge research, collaboration, and innovation. This year’s event featured keynote speakers from leading institutions across Europe and highlighted the transformative potential of nanocellulose in fields ranging from packaging to biomedical applications.

Elena’s talk introduced the joint project and emphasized the development of sustainable, cellulose-derived systems designed to enhance nutrient delivery in agricultural applications. These systems aim to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, aligning with the conference’s focus on sustainable solutions and circular economy principles.

Elena Usala’s participation not only highlights AINIA’s active role in cutting-edge research but also contributes to the broader scientific dialogue on renewable materials and their applications in agriculture and sustainability.
