Novamont

NOVAMONT is the world’s leading company in the sector of bio-plastics and biochemicals obtained through the integration of chemistry, environment and agriculture. It promotes a new model of bio-economy in the logic of the circular economy, not only based on efficiency and sustainable use of renewable resources, but also as a factor for territorial regeneration. Its development model starts from local areas and creates integrated bio-refineries by converting uncompetitive industrial sites, respecting the specific characteristics and biodiversity of the territories, in partnership with all the stakeholders in the value chain.

Materials made of MATER-BI, which is obtained by means of pioneering proprietary technologies using starches, cellulose, vegetable oils and their combinations, are made by an integrated value chain involving three Italian production facilities. In keeping with our bio-economy model, understood as territorial regeneration, uncompetitive industrial sites have been converted into innovative plants.

Its approach is cultural as well as industrial and can create jobs and competitiveness, enhancing local skills and implementing training programmes at all levels.
