Fostering decarbonization for greener future

Omya is committed to sustainability, integrating calcium carbonate into plastics to boost performance and lower carbon emissions. Our pre-consumer recycled grades, including food-contact approved options, support circularity and regulatory compliance.

We’ve developed breakthrough technology that allows calcium carbonate to be safely used in engineering materials and sensitive biopolymers, overcoming previous processing limitations. This innovation makes those plastics more affordable and scalable, accelerating the shift to greener materials.

The power of lightweighting

Lightweighting is transforming industries by enabling smarter, more efficient designs with fewer materials. Omya’s light weight fillers deliver high strength-to-weight ratios, ideal for automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Our solutions simplify part design, improve manufacturability, and enhance system integration. We collaborate closely with OEMs to tailor lightweight polymer systems that meet demanding performance and sustainability goals.

Innovations in breathable film and fiber production

Omya continues to innovate for the breathable film market, expanding its portfolio to meet market needs. It now introduces next-gen ultra-thin breathable film grades—supporting efficient production with strong film performance.

Calcium carbonate was rarely used in fiber production due to technical challenges. Omya has now commercialized its use in nonwovens, textiles, and carpets—cutting costs, reducing environmental impact, and offering industry-specific performance benefits. This innovation enables greater efficiency and new opportunities in manufacturing.
