Omya Showcases Sustainable Innovations at K 2025

Omya, a leading global producer of essential minerals and a distributor of specialty materials, is set to reveal its latest advancements at K 2025, the world's largest fair for plastics and rubber, held in Düsseldorf. The company will emphasize high-performance polymers, the transition towards a circular economy, decarbonization efforts, and lightweight materials. Visitors to Omya's booth, located in Hall 6, stand D75, can expect to learn about sustainable solutions that accelerate the shift to environmentally-friendly practices within the industry.

Launch of Omya Performance Polymers Distribution

A significant development is the launch of Omya Performance Polymers Distribution (OPPD), which was established earlier this year. This initiative combines Omya’s global polymer distribution network with Distrupol, enhancing the company's capacity to cater to a dynamic global market with a comprehensive range of high-performance polymers.

Decarbonization and Mineral Expertise

Omya's advanced calcium carbonate solutions play a pivotal role in reducing carbon footprints while enhancing the performance of plastic products. The company offers pre-consumer recycled grades, including Omyaloop FC for general applications and Omya Smartfill 55-AV for engineering materials and biopolymers, certified by Bureau Veritas and produced using green electricity. These products can lower emissions by up to two-thirds and comply with European sustainability guidelines. Marco Viel, Vice President of the Polymer Division, states, "Our mineral solutions reduce environmental impact while boosting product performance."

Lightweight Solutions for Efficiency

Omya's hollow glass microspheres – the Omyasphere 900 series – are specifically engineered to significantly reduce product weight while maintaining their durability. These lightweight fillers are ideal for the automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors, providing excellent flow, high loading rates, and improved thermal and dielectric performances. They ensure dimensional stability and are suitable for applications in polymers and construction.

Merging Performance with Sustainability in Hygiene Products

Innovations in the Omyafilm range enable the production of thinner films without sacrificing process stability or product quality. Additionally, Omyafiber is promoted within the nonwoven, textile, and carpet industries, delivering not only reduced material costs and environmental impact but also technical advantages.

Comprehensive Solutions for Polymer Challenges

Beyond minerals, Omya distributes a vast array of specialty materials, such as bio-based additives and carbon footprint reduction solutions through partnerships with leading manufacturers. This integrated approach allows Omya to provide tailored and effective solutions that meet the evolving needs of the plastics industry. With global reach and extensive technical expertise, Omya is a trusted partner for innovation, performance, and sustainability.
