Omya to offer new solutions at K 2025 focused on decarbonization, performance and lightweighting
Last update on Sep 1, 2025
Omya, a global producer of essential minerals and distributor of specialty materials, will present its latest innovations at K 2025, at Hall 6, Booth D75. With a strong focus on performance polymers, circularity, decarbonization and lightweighting.
Omya will showcase a portfolio of sustainable solutions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
Solutions to reduce emissions by up to two-thirds
A key highlight is the launch of Omya Performance Polymers Distribution (OPPD). Formed earlier this year, OPPD combines Omya’s global polymer distribution network with Distrupol, enhancing the company’s ability to serve a dynamic global market with a comprehensive range of high-performance polymers.
Fostering decarbonization with mineral expertise
Omya’s advanced calcium carbonate solutions lower the carbon footprint and improve performance of plastic products. The company offers pre-consumer recycled grades, including Omyaloop FC for general purpose applications and Omya Smartfill 55-AV 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.
Lightweighting for performance and efficiency
Omya’s hollow glass microspheres, Omyasphere 900 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.
Performance meets sustainability in hygiene market
New Omyafilm developments enable the production of thinner films without compromising process stability or product quality. Meanwhile, Omyafiber 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.
A one-stop solution for polymer challenges
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.
