Novamont operates in chemical manufacturing with a focus on bioplastics, biochemicals, and bioproducts of renewable origin, holding an internationally recognized leadership position in this field. Based in Novara, in the Piedmont region of Italy, the company is now a subsidiary of Versalis following a prior acquisition. Its origins trace back to the Montedison School of Materials Science, where researchers pursued an integration of chemistry with environmental and agricultural considerations, and it functions today as a Benefit Company and certified B Corporation. Its work centers on eco-design solutions that avoid persistent substances and support recycling, with the aim of returning materials to the earth and closing the carbon cycle. Its customer base spans the packaging and food-packaging value chain, to whom it offers materials, packaging design support, environmental validation services, and compostability testing. A recent development illustrating collaboration with major industry players is a 2025 partnership with Amazon to develop bio-based packaging for consumer food products.
