InPlasTwin at the AGRIFOODPLAST

Xiaoyu Zhang, PhD student of Dr. Milica Velimirovic, from VITO, presented the InPlasTwin project at AGRIFOODPLAST 2025, the international conference on micro and nano-plastics in the agri-food chain, on April 8-9 in Brussels.

AGRIFOODPLAST was great opportunity to meet and hear presentations of world experts, decision makers, farmers and businesses actors who discussed the latest research on environmental and human risks of nano- and microplastics, and plastic-associated chemicals in food production and packaging.

They presented a poster titled “The InPlasTwin project: Investigating the uptake and impact of micro- and nanoplastics from mulching film degradation on strawberries through twinning action.” This presentation provided a comprehensive overview of the InPlasTwin project, highlighting its objectives, methodologies, and scientific capacity-building activities.
