We are Eni’s chemical company. We operate both nationally and internationally in the basic chemicals and intermediates, plastic, rubber and chemistry from renewables sectors. We have committed to a transformation process towards a chemical industry of the future based on portfolio specialization, circularity and biochemistry, with the aim of achieving our decarbonisation targets.
Research plays an fundamental role in our transformation. With 7 research centres, it is devoted to developing projects and technology for innovative solutions, including through integration of technology platforms and partnerships with various players in the supply chain.
We interact with markets by offering a broadly-based, continually-evolving product portfolio for numerous sectors of application, thanks to a wide range of proprietary technology, and being able to rely on an extensive worldwide distribution network and after-sales service.
With the acquisition in 2023 of Novamont, leader in the circular bioeconomy sector and in the market of biodegradable and compostable bioplastics, we wanted to strengthen our positioning in biochemistry by offering the market a range of sustainable biobased products and solutions (in particular bioplastics, biolubricants , bioherbicides) for application in the packaging, agriculture and industry sectors.
In the context of circularity, we are both carrying forward the development of complementary mechanical and chemical recycling technologies, such as the Hoop® technology for the chemical recycling of mixed plastics, and we have acquired existing plants and technologies for mechanical recycling to accelerate their industrial implementation.
In the specialisation area, we have been creating new opportunities to increase our presence in downstream markets. Since 2021 with Finproject, a leading manufacturer of ultralight products and since 2024 with Tecnofilm, a specialist compounder whose portfolio and technology is complementary to Finproject, we have increased our product range for the higher added value applications market, positioning ourselves in sectors such as the luxury footwear, design and furnishing industries, those connected with energy transition, such as wire & cable, the safety and automotive industries, with specific technology and industrial leadership.
Finally, in order to achieve our transformation, in line with Eni strategy, we have set specific decarbonisation targets.
