Industries we serve

The mobility sector is undergoing rapid transformation driven by electrification, lightweighting requirements, and tightening sustainability legislation. OEMs must meet increasingly demanding performance targets while complying with evolving frameworks such as the EU’s Fit for 55 Targets and the proposed Regulation on Circularity Requirements for Vehicle Design and End-of-Life Vehicles, which introduce expectations around recyclability, material traceability, and recycled content.

Omya Performance Polymer Distribution supports automotive manufacturers with materials and expertise that enable performance optimization while aligning with current and future regulatory and circularity requirements.

Why it matters

• Reduces weight and extends EV range
• Replaces metals while maintaining performance
• Meets recyclability, traceability, and sustainability expectations

Medical and healthcare applications require materials suitable for highly regulated environments governed by frameworks such as the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745), In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR 2017/746), U.S. FDA requirements, and international ISO standards. These regulations define expectations around biocompatibility, sterilization, processing, and product lifecycle management.

At the same time, sustainability considerations, including material selection and packaging requirements, are gaining importance within the regulatory landscape.

Omya Performance Polymer Distribution supports customers by providing materials and expertise to navigate these complex requirements, while ensuring performance and application suitability.

Why it matters

• Meets stringent regulatory and quality requirements
• Ensures sterilisation resistance and consistent performance
• Addresses increasing sustainability expectations

Consumer product manufacturers must deliver high-performance, durable, and cost-efficient products while preparing for evolving regulatory requirements such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), as well as regional frameworks including EU Toy Safety legislation and California Proposition 65. These frameworks increasingly address durability, recyclability, and material safety.

Material selection is therefore critical in balancing functionality, aesthetics, and compliance.

Omya Performance Polymer Distribution supports customers with materials and expertise aligned with these emerging expectations.

Why it matters

• Achieves durability and visual quality
• Enables cost-efficient manufacturing
• Aligns with future ecodesign and sustainability requirements

Construction applications require materials that provide long-term durability, weather resistance, and compliance with evolving frameworks such as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR 2024/2026) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Increasing emphasis is placed on environmental declarations, lifecycle performance, and circularity.

Global developments, including updated green building standards, further reinforce these expectations.

Omya Performance Polymer Distribution supports manufacturers with materials suited for performance, compliance, and sustainability requirements.

Why it matters

• Ensures safety, durability, and weather resistance
• Meets environmental and lifecycle reporting requirements
