The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has published its updated Biodiversity Strategy Building on our Legacy – Realising our Potential originally launched in 2013.
Quality restoration of land borrowed for the extraction of minerals is one of the trademarks of the modern quarrying industry. Indeed, without proper provision for restoration, secured through planning conditions, permission to work a quarry will not be given.
MPA has devised a new map which highlights MPA’s National Nature Park - former quarries and other former industrial locations returned to nature and with public access, which are now considered of special interest to nature conservationists and members of the public.
One of the industry’s best kept secrets is the enormous contribution it makes to restoring and improving land after quarrying is complete.
The mineral products industry has a long legacy of high-quality restoration and is uniquely placed to protect and enhance UK biodiversity, including rare and threatened species.

The mineral products industry works hard to carry out its work sensitively and responsibly.
Our latest positions on key policy areas and most recent publications on industry related issues.
Our approach to sustainability has evolved progressively since MPA was formed in 2009. We now represent 14 product groups with 520 members under an umbrella that covers 20 per cent of aggregates production and 100 per cent of GB cement production. This level of activity combined with a substantial total landholding means that MPA can do much to influence the cause of sustainable development across the UK.
