Circular bioeconomy, soil protection, sustainability, territorial projects: discover the key topics discussed during the conferences’ program of Novamont at Ecomondo 2021
From October 26 to 29, Ecomondo, Europe's leading fair for industrial and technological innovation in the circular economy, was held in Rimini, with conventions and conferences in presence and in digital format.
Novamont participated with its stand and took part in several events and initiatives that highlighted the Group's circular bioeconomy model.

The event, organized by Res4Africa in collaboration with the Technical-Scientific Committee of Ecomondo and the Technical-Scientific Committee of Key Energy, was attended by Andrea Di Stefano, Head of Business Communication and Special Projects at Novamont. In his speech, Di Stefano illustrated some of Italian cooperation priorities and strategies for the implementation of circular economy projects in Africa, particularly in Mozambique, Burkina Faso and Senegal, where the Group is working with NGOs and cooperation institutions to promote the separate collection of food waste, innovations in agriculture and the transfer of knowledge in a systemic approach to innovation.
28 October - Caring for soil is caring for life: soil health policies and innovation
The conference, organized by the Technical Scientific Committee of Ecomondo, by the Mission Soil Health and Food of the European Commission, by Re Soil Foundation and Coldiretti, offered an overview of the evolution of strategies and policies related to soil health and to illustrate case studies of how regenerative agriculture and circular bioeconomy, which see the soil as their starting and ending point, represent an important tool to reverse the course of soil degradation, creating value in the territories.
Catia Bastioli, CEO Novamont and Member of the Mission Board for Soil Health and Food of the European Commission, who also moderated the meeting, highlighted the importance of soil protection as an essential element to reduce emissions and improve the carbon sink, stressing how the targets of the Green Deal, biodiversity, food systems and life on Earth strongly depend on the health of our soils. Bastioli then recalled the objectives of the European Mission, including the creation of living labs and lighthouses as places of research and tests to study innovative solutions for soils.
