Novamont has launched the second phase of the project to redevelop the Mater-Biopolymer plant in Patrica (FR), doubling the production capacity of the ORIGO-BI family of biopolyesters. These are used to improve the technical, economic and environmental properties of MATER-Bi biodegradable and compostable bioplastics.
Together with the development of new chemicals and production processes, this has given a strong new impetus to upstream integration of the Novamont production line.
In 2009, the Mater-Biopolymer plant in Patrica (Italy) belonged to Mossi & Ghisolfi (M&G), had two PET production lines and had stopped production on one line. From 2009, a partnership enabled Novamont to start working on gradually converting this line to its technology. In 2011, the first continuous plant for production of ORIGO-BI – biodegradable polyesters obtained from monomers from vegetable oils was inaugurated.
