NOVAMONT AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO BIOECONOMY AND BIOCHEMICALS EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 28 JUNE 2016, BRUXELLES
INFRASTRUCTURES IN THE LOCAL AREAS AS A KEY ELEMENT FOR BIOECONOMY: THE CONTRIBUTION OF NOVAMONT Novamont has made pioneering investments in Italy re-activating many industrial sites, thanks to its proprietary technologies, thus giving to Italy a leadership in the bioplastics market and laying the foundations for the growth of biochemicals Collaborations with the world of Development of integrated Converting Agriculture, Research, Industry, Biorefineries aimed decommissioned industrial Institutions & Associations, large- at enhancing the peculiarities sites thanks to innovative scale distribution (LOD), big and the biodiversity of the local and proprietary brands areas technologies PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL AREAS PROPRIETARY OTHER SECTORS TECHNOLOGIES NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES – NEW VALUE CHAINS - NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PROJECTS – NEW SOLUTIONS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT MODELS, 2
NOVAMONT: A KNOWLEDGE-BASED INDUSTRY 1996: RESEARCH CENTRE 25-YEAR R&D EXPERIENCE 2015: 170 MIO/€ TURNOVER > 6% OF TURNOVER 600 PEOPLE 20% OF EMPLOYEES ∼ 1,000 PATENTS INDUSTRY R&D HUMAN CAPITAL MORE THAN 300 TRAINING PROGRAMMES SINCE 2000 IN COLLABORATION WITH LEADING R&D INSTITUTIONS 3
FROM NOVAMONT RESEARCH IT BECOMES Created to find Innovative family of bioplastics solutions for specific environmental based on vegetable resources problems and and polymers which are applications (e.g. separate collection of biodegradable and compostable organic waste) Biodegradable with Use of renewable the possibility of raw materials (low- organic recovery, input crops, scraps) through composting 4

WHERE NEW BIOPRODUCTS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT … and what do more Overall policy approach to • BIOPLASTICS: PROPRIETARY MATER-BI develop bioeconomy: an OF THIRD GENERATION (WITH AZELAIC important opportunity is the ACID) Circular Economy Package, Fertilizers Regulation, GPP PLASTICIZERS FOR PVC AND OTHER POLYMERS AS REPLACEMENT OF PHTALATES Training programs involving • private, public money/ MARINE AND INDUSTRIAL Foundations (green jobs) APPLICATIONS (HIGH LUBRICITY, BIODEGRADABILITY, LOW FLAMMABILITY) Standards for innovation • PALM OIL FREE COMPONENTS FOR COSMETICS Measures to recognize the added • value of the use of bio-based OIL EXTENDERS FOR RUBBER products in sectors where the environmental pollution is clearly a risk (i.e. biolubricants, bio- BIO-HERBICIDES FOR INTEGRATED herbicides) AGRICULTURE 7
