IMA-Europe is a lobby organisation in Brussels, representing the European industrial minerals producers. Our field of activity focusses on all non-commercial issues related to minerals, from their extraction and processing through to their end-use applications. Priorities evolve around health and safety at the workplace, environmental protection, product safety as well as public awareness about the importance of industrial minerals for society. The association ensures that the sector at large benefits from the sharing of information and promotes the exchange of good practices. See www.ima-europe.eu.
