Omya unveils sustainable innovations at K 2025: Spotlight on performance polymer materials, decarbonization and lightweighting
Omya's advanced calcium carbonate solutions lower the carbon footprint and improve performance of plastic products. The company offers pre-consumer recycled grades, including for general purpose applications and for engineering materials and biopolymers, verified by Bureau Veritas and produced using green electricity. These grades reduce emissions by up to two-thirds and support compliance with EU sustainability directives.
"Our mineral solutions reduce environmental impact while enhancing performance" said Marco Viel , Vice President of Polymers.
Omya's hollow glass microspheres — series are engineered to significantly reduce product weight while maintaining strength. These lightweight fillers are ideal for automotive, aerospace, and electronics, offering improved flow, higher filler loading, and enhanced thermal and dielectric performance. They support dimensional stability and are suitable for advanced polymer and construction applications.
New developments enable the production of thinner films without compromising process stability or product quality. Meanwhile, is commercialized to the nonwovens, textiles and carpets industry delivering not only the general advantages of reduced material costs and lower environmental impact, but also technical benefits.
Beyond minerals, Omya distributes a wide range of specialty materials including bio-based additives and CO₂-reducing solutions through partnerships with leading manufacturers. This integrated approach allows Omya to deliver tailored, high-performance solutions that meet the evolving needs of the plastics industry. With global reach and deep technical expertise, Omya is a trusted partner for innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
Omya invites visitors to meet the team, experience live demonstrations, and discover how Omya is helping shape the future of plastics.
