Novamont has opened its revamped biopolyesters plant located to the south of Rome, boosting total production capacity at the site from 120 kilotonnes per annum (ktpa) to 150ktpa.

The Patrica plant, operated by Novamont subsidiary Mater–Biopolymer, produces 100ktpa of Origo–BI biopolyesters, which contain a high level of renewables, and are used as components of Mater-BI compostable bioplastics.
