Novamont is an industrial company whose roots lie in the Montedison School of Materials Science and which was set up in 1989 with a view to implementing the ambitious project of some researchers from the chemical corporation: to integrate chemistry, agriculture and the environment. Ever since it was set up, Novamont has encouraged a new model of sustainable development and the transition from a product-based economy to a system-based economy, from a dissipative to a conservative approach to resources, through the use of renewable feedstock for the production of bioplastics for specific applications
