This collaboration aims to ensure safer, longer-lasting medication packaging while promoting recyclable solutions within the pharmaceutical industry.

Eight years of aquaculture trials in Brazil indicate that biological treatments from Bionetix® can improve fish growth, water clarity, and survival rates while reducing pond maintenance. The long-term experiment, conducted by Ennesul Tecnologia in Mato Grosso and Santa Catarina, highlights a simple treatment strategy that supports sustainability and productivity at commercial fish farms.
