Novamont was originally founded as a research centre, and is today involved in the development of products derived from renewable raw materials of agricultural origin.

The company purpose is to contribute in a significant manner to forging a new industrial policy capable of reconciling the twin demands of development and sustainability, thus creating an integrated system involving chemistry, agriculture, industry and the environment in “genuinely sustainable development” with low environmental impact. This requires solution of the urgent problems of environmental pollution through the use of renewable resources of agricultural origin, while reducing to a minimum any post-consumption waste and developing processes with low environmental impact.

Novamont’s chief product Mater-Bi is biodegradable, naturally compostable and offers the same degree of resistance and impermeability as traditional plastics, providing a real answer to the demand for low environmental impact mass-market products. Derived from renewable resources of agricultural origin (non-GM maize starch), it lowers emissions of greenhouse gases, and reduces consumption of energy and non-renewable resources. It thus completes a 'virtuous circle': raw materials of agricultural origin are returned to the soil through biodegradation and composting without the release of pollutants.

Novamont has always used the most advanced environmental data information and certification systems and has complied with EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification requirements since their experimental phase.
