Be part of the solution with Omyaloop FC, made from 100% recycled materials

The Omyaloop product range is third‑party validated as being made from, or allocated to, 100% recycled content that would otherwise be disposed of as waste, and therefore carries a validation certificate.

Thanks to the new and broad Omyaloop FC product portfolio, it is easy to replace calcium carbonate in existing recipes with Omyaloop FC, thus improving the sustainability and the recycling content of the final product.

Foster decarbonization for greener future

Omya uses renewable energy to produce Omyaloop FC at multiple sites, where it is able to cut its carbon footprint by two‑thirds. This helps customers meet sustainability goals by lowering CO₂ footprints.

Omyaloop FC enhances recycled content and supports decarbonization, with some grades achieving a carbon footprint as low as 10kg of CO_2.

Complies with food contact certification

Calcium carbonate is well known in the polymer industry as a mineral modifier, providing different functionalities and optimizing overall cost.

To meet the recent stringent demand of the industry for more recycled materials, Omya has developed a new recycled calcium carbonate that also complies with common food contact regulations.

Achieve your recycled content goals with cost optimizing minerals

Omyaloop FC performs as efficiently as conventional calcium carbonate in compounding and extrusion and can therefore be used as a 1:1 replacement in the most common polymer processing methods.

Sustainability with Omyaloop FC

Calcium carbonates, such as limestone, marble and chalk are natural and renewable. It is continuously replenished by natural cycles in rivers, lakes, and oceans or formed as minerals, for example, from shells or skeletons.

The production of calcium carbonate does not involve any energy-intensive processes, leaving the carbon footprint substantially lower than that of any polymer resin. Calcium carbonate also meets the criteria for a renewable material.

Omyaloop earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2022 European New Product Innovation Award in the sustainable mining solutions category.
