Ordinarily, a mill burns excess calcium carbonate to generate calcium oxide for reuse. However, not all waste can be recycled in this way. In response, Imerys is developing new industry standards with products that re-process waste by creating fresh calcium carbonate for use in filling and pre-coating applications. The solutions are just one example of how Imerys is working with customers to manage and reduce waste, and to increase the recyclability of products.
