Benvenuto nella nuova tappa dell’evoluzione di Mater-Bi

Mater-Bi svela la sua nuova identità.
Un nuovo simbolo che richiama la circolarità di un materiale in tutto o in parte di origine vegetale che può, se smaltito correttamente negli impianti di compostaggio, nel compost domestico o, in caso di biodegradazione in suolo, nel terreno, tornare alla terra chiudendo naturalmente il proprio ciclo di vita.
Un simbolo che racconta la continua evoluzione del Mater-Bi e il dialogo costante tra materie prime naturali e tecnologia.

Biodegradabile e compostabile
Tutte le applicazioni in MATER-BI sono certificate OK COMPOST in conformità allo standard UNI EN 13432 e conformi alla direttiva europea sugli imballaggi e rifiuti da imballaggi. A seconda della specifica formulazione, le applicazioni in Mater-Bi possono essere:
• compostabili in impianti industriali, con biodegradazione completa entro circa 6 mesi, in conformità alla norma EN 13432  (e ISO 17088, ISO 14855);
• compostabili in compostaggio domestico, con biodegradazione entro circa 12 mesi secondo la norma EN 17427;
• biodegradabili in suolo, con completa mineralizzazione entro circa  24 mesi, in accordo con le norme EN 17033 e ISO 17556.
In tutti i casi, la biodegradazione porta alla conversione del materiale in CO₂, acqua e biomassa, senza formazione di microplastiche persistenti nell’ambiente. Inoltre, i test condotti finora dimostrano che il Mater-Bi è intrinsecamente biodegradabile e che, in presenza di microrganismi marini, raggiunge livelli di biodegradazione paragonabili a quelli di polimeri naturali come la cellulosa (carta).

Tracciabilità della filiera
Mater-Bi, sempre all'avanguardia, sta introducendo inoltre un sistema di tracciabilità verificata, basato su blockchain e intelligenza artificiale, che consente di monitorare l'ntera filiera, dalla materia prima al prodotto finito. Questo garantisce a chi sceglie Mater-Bi l'accesso a dati ambientali completi, offrendo una bioplastica affidabile con prestazioni verificate.
Rinnovabilità crescente
Mater-Bi è il risultato di una serie di tecnologie proprietarie di Novamont e prime nel loro genere nel campo degli amidi, degli oli vegetali e delle loro combinazioni. Grazie a ricerca e innovazione continue e alla costruzione di una filiera che negli anni è diventata sempre più integrata, Mater-Bi ha raggiunto livelli di contenuto di origine vegetale sempre più elevati, arrivando, in alcuni utilizzi, fino al 100%.
Legalità e affidabilità
La presenza del marchio Mater-Bi rappresenta una garanzia di legalità e autenticità rispetto ai prodotti contraffatti presenti sul mercato. Novamont si impegna inoltre nella verifica accurata affinché i prodotti contrassegnati dal marchio Mater-Bi rispettino non solo i requisiti di legge vigenti, ma anche gli standard di qualità e performance necessari per la corretta realizzazione e funzionalità delle applicazioni finali.
Carbon footprint verificata
Il Mater-Bi vanta un’impronta di carbonio (carbon footprint - CFP) verificata. Grazie alla certificazione ISO14067, ottenuta da Novamont, la CFP dei prodotti realizzati in Mater-Bi puó essere misurata e quantificata in modo chiaro e trasparente.  L'impiego di Mater-Bi nella produzione di manufatti permette di supportare le proprie dichiarazioni di maggiore sostenibilità con dati finali accuratamente calcolati da terze parti e certificati da organismi accreditati. Oltre alla misurazione e alla verifica, Novamont lavora costantemente alla messa a punto di processi e soluzioni tecnologiche con l’ambizione di minimizzare la CFP del Mater-Bi lungo l’intero ciclo di vita. Questo approccio integra innovazione di processo, selezione delle materie prime e miglioramento continuo dell'impatto ambientale.
