Imerys

👉Did you know that your windshield wipers, brake pads, and start stop engine are all affected by the presence of #graphite in your car? As a graphite-producing group, making high-quality graphite is essential to us. This is why we are so proud to have received the prestigious IATF certification for our site in Bodio, #Switzerland. IATF is a global standard for the management of quality in automotive systems, and receiving this certification is a testament to our commitment to quality and excellence in the services we offer and to our journey towards continuous improvement of our processes and production efficiency.

Over a year ago, #Imerys committed to align our activities with the most ambitious #climate science scenario: limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Our emissions reduction targets were validated by the SBTi in 2023.

🌍 Innovative solutions in the fight against #globalwarming can often be found in the most unexpected places! ✅ Our Andersonville plant in the USA is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by fueling its kilns with a #renewable local biomass source – peanut shells!🥜 🇺🇸 In the heart of Georgia’s peanut-producing region, the site has historically relied on coal and natural gas for its kilns. However, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the facility is now shifting from fossil fuels to a more sustainable energy source: #biomass waste! Discover more below👇

🤔 Did you know that our minerals are key ingredients in rubber compounds for the production of a wide range of end products such as tires, industrial and consumer goods, cables and pharmaceutical stoppers?

🌱Certain #minerals can play a key role in #agriculture, especially when it comes to crop nutrition efficiency. At #Imerys, we have developed a product that leverages the power of one particularly effective mineral: zeolite. ImerFert™ Z is a cost-effective, natural nutrient binder and water retention solution designed to increase the performance of your soil, soil improvers and fertilizer products. 👉Find out more here: https://bit.ly/4c4PUqt

🌍To do its part in combating the climate crisis, #Imerys has put into place an ambitious  mitigation strategy aligned on the 1.5°C trajectory. Our first Climate Transition Plan report presents our objectives and concrete actions leveraging 5 main #decarbonization levers. In this article, hear from voices from within Imerys and learn about our targets, which levers we will use to get there, and what is motivating our teams to deliver on our 1.5° journey.

Our customers are always looking for the best solutions to meet growing demands for sustainability, security and innovation. Technology is at the heart of #Imerys’ response to this. 👀Newly installed at our Technology Center in Tianjin, #China🇨🇳, a Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) machine represents a significant advancement in our capabilities, to bring it in line with our centers around the world. This cutting-edge technology provides images with magnifications typically up to ~X50,000 and beyond, with exceptional resolution; allowing us to observe sub-micron-scale features that optical microscopes cannot detect. This powerful tool enables us to analyze the materials we process; enhancing our understanding and control over their properties. By continually evolving and refining our approach, we not only better serve our customers but also make strides in innovation. Embracing such technologies is essential for our continuous improvement and growth in the markets we serve, notably construction, refractory, advanced ceramics and plastics.

🐞🌱Working in the #MiningIndustry means being acutely aware of the environmental effects of mineral extraction. This is why it is crucial to develop a robust strategy to minimize and limit the impact of our activities on nature. Partnering with the best scientists and experts is key to driving meaningful actions for protecting #biodiversity. 🤝In this framework, #Imerys is delighted to announce that we have renewed our long term partnership with PatriNat (OFB-MNHN-CNRS-IRD), a French national public organization under the joint supervision of the National Museum of Natural History. This partnership has helped us to adopt accurate and efficient methodologies and tools to help preserve ecosystems since 2018! Find out more below⤵️

✔️Minerals are all around us and play essential roles in many of the products we use on a daily basis. They can be found in the bedroom, at work, out in the street, and even at the breakfast table! ☕️ 🥣Have you ever wondered how minerals could possibly be used in, for example, breakfast cereal boxes? Well, #Imerys has developed a range of solutions that optimize paper and board #recycling, improve optical performance and enhance printability! 📅 Want to find out about Powerate™ (mid-layer), Opacicote™ (precoat) and OpaciTop™ (topcoat)?
