Bastioli CEO Novamont
The challenge of climate change and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels requires us to find new models of environmentally sustainable development and new applications and environmentally friendly. The second edition of Planet Energy to be held at the Fair Affair October 9 to 12, will present its results in five main areas: Energy, Renewable Energy, Home Automation, Building for energy efficiency and building automation. Among the meetings open to the public, stands out the conference sponsored by Green Chemistry, Friday, Oct. 10, at 14, at the Palladio room, which will present what has already been achieved in Italy in agrienenergie, bio-lubricants, bio-plastics, but also discuss the future policy and guidelines necessary for development of local supply chains consistent with the principles of environmental sustainability.
Novamont, a leader in the field bioplastics, will attend the conference as a concrete example of the contribution that the bioplastics provide sustainable development and consolidation of a new industrial policy to pay the demands of the economy with sustainability, creating an integrated system of chemistry, agriculture, industry and environment for a "truly sustainable development" and environmentally friendly. Mater-Bi ®, developed by Novamont bioplastic, biodegradable and compostable in accordance with European standards EN 13432 and UNI EN 14995, can provide benefits very similar to traditional plastics, but contains renewable resources of agricultural origin. Decreases emissions of greenhouse gases emissions, reduces energy consumption and non-renewable resources, completes a virtuous circle: raw materials of agricultural origin return to the earth through processes of biodegradation and composting without the release of pollutants. Bioplastics can thus contribute to environmental protection re-design of applications, impacting on how to produce the raw materials, the vertical integration of entire agro-industrial non-food, on how to use the products and eliminating them, thinking about innovation, but extending it to the territory.
This is the challenge of the model of "Integrated Bio-refinery in the territory, achieved through technology and effective collaboration Novamont with Coldiretti, which will be shown during the conference by Alessandro Ferlito, Commercial Director Novamont. Is realized as an industrial sector with low environmental impact starting from corn and vegetable oils, revitalizing the agricultural innovation, create new opportunities for actors in the process and minimizes the use of energy resources of petroleum origin. products resulting from mater-bi are distributed by our co-operative.
