Public Profile

With headquarters in Waltham, MA. but with R&D capabilities in Ithaca NY, Novomer, Inc. is a specialty polymer and materials company that provides novel catalysts, application specific polymers, and contract research and development services to the chemical industry and its customers. Based in technologies developed at Cornell, Novomer is developing an innovative family of low-cost, high-performance, sustainable polymers, plastics and chemicals that can be produced from feedstocks derived from pollution, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Novomer’s proprietary synthetic-chemical technology allows traditional chemical feedstocks to be combined with carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide to cost effectively synthesize sustainable chemicals and materials for a wide variety of applications. The chemicals and materials contain up to 50% by weight low cost waste carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO) and, as a result, have a significantly reduced carbon and energy footprint and advantaged economics as compared to the materials they will replace
