About
Nantoo is an Italian greentech startup and Benefit Corporation developing innovative solutions for the circular bioeconomy and sustainable urban resource management.
The company has developed BioPods®, a patented technology that transforms the collection and handling of leaves and green residues by reducing biomass volume by up to 90%, improving logistics efficiency and enabling the valorisation of biomass that is typically treated as waste.
Beyond collection, Nantoo coordinates a Circular Bioeconomy Value Chain, officially recognised by the Lombardy Region and involving more than 40 companies, universities, research centres, clusters and innovation stakeholders. The initiative promotes collaboration across the entire biomass value chain, accelerating industrial symbiosis, biomass valorisation and the development of new bio-based products and circular business opportunities.
Through strategic partnerships with universities, research organisations and industrial partners, Nantoo is exploring the transformation of leaves and green residues into paper, cellulose-based materials, biopolymers, bio-based compounds and other high-value applications for the bioeconomy.
The company actively promotes collaborative innovation projects aimed at connecting research, industry and territories to accelerate the transition from waste management to resource generation and the creation of resilient circular supply chains.
Nantoo's mission is to transform green waste into value while supporting more sustainable cities, regenerative economic models and the development of new bio-based industries.
