MATER-BI, THE BIOPLASTIC
Raw material of natural origin was created by Italian researchers and developed by Novamont. Novamont research workers have been able to create a new family of hypermolecules called Mater-Bi. The starch, which is mainly derived from corn, is destructurized and complexed with natural or synthetic molecules. The resulting products enable the behaviour of conventional plastics to be simulated in a broad range of applications, while retaining the full biodegradability that is typical of the starch molecule. These are products which help to solve urgent and basic environmental problems while they are being used and, above all, at the time of disposal. From Mater-Bags (biodegradable and compostable bags for the separate collection of organic household waste) to Mater-Agro (a biodegradable agricultural mulch film); from Mater-Fill (a biodegradable and water-soluble loose-fill for packaging) to Mater-Catering (compostable plates, cutlery and cups); from Mater-Pet (accessories for animals) to Mater-Personal Care (cotton buds, wrappers for toilet paper, disposable nappies) to Mater-Filler (which has caused a revolution in tyre behavoir, improving performance and significantly lowering environmental impact). The Novara-based company Novamont Spa is a world leader in the promising field of bioplastics made from raw materials of natural origin. For further information go to the web site www.materbi.com
