OE Brake Pad Composition?

2019 CX-5 Touring...

Does anyone know the composition of the OE brake pads? Are they organic, semi-metallic, or ceramic?

I'm noticing a lot of brake dust for 600 miles of easy commuter driving thus far. Maybe it's just the pads bedding in?

The good thing is the wheels are gun metal grey so the dust does not show up...LOL! The bad thing is...I need to stay on top of it and clean them frequently to prevent the dust from permanently adhering to the wheels.

Anyway...wondering what the OE pads are made out of. I'm guessing organic based on the dust!
