Novamont is an Italian company, wholly owned by Versalis (Eni). It is a leader at international level in the bioplastics sector and in the development of biochemicals and bioproducts obtained from the integration of chemistry, agriculture and the environment. It promotes a circular approach to bioeconomy based on the efficient use of resources and on the concept of territorial regeneration. Its development model aims at creating sustainable integrated value chains and revitalizing no longer competitive production and research sites to create new value, products and jobs. It develops products of vegetable origin, biodegradable and compostable, conceived as solutions to specific problems related to the quality of water and soil. Over the years it has carried out a multiplicity of case studies, creating connections between different sectors (agriculture, research, industry, waste management, institutions, civil society). With a portfolio of around 1,600 patents and patent applications, it is also a R&D centre and a training centre for young and experienced researchers. Since 2021 it has owned Biobag Group, a leading company in the production and marketing of biodegradable and compostable products, which has been independently verified as part of Novamont’s B Corp certification.
