American here, thought those were the standard? I’m pretty ignorant with auto mechanics, though I can change break pads. If someone asked me what they’re made of, “I dunno. Ceramic of some kind.”
Newer vehicles typically have ceramic stock (well at least my newest car did), but I think “organic” were standard until relatively recently. There’s pros and cons to each.

The cheapest ones that most people default to are usually barely glued together carbon powder. But good mechanics definitely carry and use ceramic
Most are made out of mixtures of metals like copper, iron and steel. Ceramic brakes are more prone to fading though.
