Sustainable development: bio-innovations presented at Fieragricola Verona – Greenstyle

A little over a year ago Novamont , Coldiretti and CAI have signed an agreement to create innovative agro-industrial sectors sign in the sustainability . To date some of the solutions have become reality and have been presented to Fieragricola Verona , which ended Saturday, February 6. It is a line of biolubricants , a product in bioplastic and yet another for the production of active substances for agrochemicals .

the experience and qualifications of Novamont technology have been put to the biorefinery Matrica service Porto Torres that has focused its attention on the thistle . A crop that Coldiretti is trying to spread because, despite being a simple kind that does not require special care (also grows in arid lands unsuitable for other crops), allows to produce such protein meal for animal feed and origin well as to a number of raw materials that can be used in the chemical industry green.

Biochemicals, biointermedi, monomers for the production of bioplastics, bases for bio-lubricants, and bioagrofarmaci, bioadditives for tires: are examples of how this plant material, through innovative processes developed by Novamont, will become the basis for a variety of useful compounds in agriculture who manage to have a very low impact on the environment. Here are the products presented in Verona Fiere:

• Matrol-Bi – a line of bio-lubricants and greases. They have a non-toxic formulation and are highly biodegradable. They are suitable for various types of machinery in agriculture, forestry and marine. Can finally give an alternative to more traditional lubricating oils which are derived from petroleum.
• Films for mulching in Mater-Bi – usually mulching (operation performed to prevent formation of weeds) is done with blacks plastic sheeting covering the farmland. For this plant-film is not necessary to remove from the ground when its function was completed: it can stay there and biodegrade

becoming CO2 , Water and biomass . This is the first biodegradable cloth that has obtained the certification Vinçotte “OK Biodegradable soil”, not on raw materials, but on the entire product.

Active substances for crop protection products – this is nonanoic acid , which is used to combat selectively the growth of weeds. Has plant-derived and, unlike many of its competitors synthetic chemical, has no harmful effects on human health or the environment and degrades very easily.
