Sustainability, innovation and quality: Novacart's values
-
Sustainability
Novacart Group has dedicated itself to sustainable growth principles, both in the manufacture of its products and the in the social and economic domain.
One of the most important goals is the FSC certification of sustainability, obtained thanks to the use of paper derived from controlled Scandinavian forests, where the destruction of the trees is balanced by a regulated reforestation. This policy abides to the 17 sustainabile development objectives set by the UN for the year 2030.
Moreover, environmental protection is supported by energy saving. This is obtained using LED lighting and a transportation system with stackable boxes reducing the number of trips and therefore CO2 emissions.
The company also cares about social and economic sustainability. Novacart supports the protection and safety of its workers. The production chain is controlled and certified to guarantee its safety. This helps to create an ethical and transparent production, in accordance with our values.
Every Novacart employee, from managers to workers must respect the guiding principles of reliability, honesty and loyalty. Our social sustainability values are the centerpiece of our company.

Innovation
Keeping up to date, renovating ourselves and aiming at excellence is fundamental for our group. This is why the company is committed to research of eco-compatible materials and new technologies.
The research lab “Punto Rosso” has made innovation its focal point. Punto Rosso studies new applications and new ecological raw materials that can be adapted to the market’s needs.
Novacart’s products are renowned for their high quality: they are non-deformable, resistent to high and low temperatures and fat resistant. The company supports its innovation process thanks to patents, too. Nowadays we have filed over a hundred patents.
The CMS division (construction of special machines) is specialized in the design and construction of advanced machines for paper processing. They can also be implemented into the client’s production cycle. Thanks to the CMS division it was possible to patent products like the panettone paper mold, the colomba paper mold or the self-closing bottom for hexagonal cardboard boxes.

Passion
No business goal can be achieved without the passion that is part of our work. Our transparency and respect policies are combined with the effort and the passion for our job.
