Novamont Develops New Marine-Biodegradable Film

Novamont, the Italian bioplastics innovator, has successfully developed a new biodegradable film that completely breaks down in marine environments within six months, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.

Technical Innovation

The new Mater-Bi formulation uses a proprietary blend of bio-based polymers that maintain strength and flexibility while ensuring rapid biodegradation in seawater.

Applications

Target applications include agricultural mulch films, food packaging, and disposable items that might end up in marine environments.
