A new website for the mineral products industry – www.mineralproducts.org – has been launched by the Mineral Products Association.

The newly-designed site sets out the latest facts and figures that demonstrate the importance of mineral products, providing a fascinating overview into an industry that represents the biggest flow of materials in the economy. Throughout the website the MPA addresses key issues – from safety campaigns to climate change – and visitors can access key publications to learn about a range of topics.

The Concrete and Cement industry’s world leading Roadmap to Beyond Net Zero Carbon by 2050 is explained in detail, whilst the unique contribution to biodiversity made by MPA member companies, in partnership with nature conservation organisations, can be accessed through videos in the Quarries & Nature area. Elsewhere, the site features latest industry news and forthcoming events, along with MPA membership and governance information.

Nigel Jackson, MPA Chief Executive said: “The new website gives us a fresh platform to reiterate the essentiality of mineral products, the importance of our industry to other sectors and the economy as a whole, and the excellent progress we are making to deliver solutions that underpin the UK economy and support long-term sustainability.

“Now the site is live we will keep the new it topical and fleet-footed. It will continue to evolve with ever more dynamic content and as a membership organisations we welcome contributions and suggestions.”

The MPA encourages people to visit the website and share with your colleagues and partner organisations.

Ends.
