The mineral products industry is an essential, indigenous, and major primary producer in its own right - but it is also locked into the DNA of a whole host of other important industries. We are the largest supplier to the construction industry, and sectors such as housing and property along with transport, energy and water infrastructure all rely upon the supply of mineral products of one type or another.
MPA Vision for 2025 - Member consultation has established that the industry wishes: ‘to be valued as an essential and economically, socially and environmentally sustainable industry of significance to the economy and our way of life’ and perceived as:
cohesive and well-organised, responsible and accountable
creative, collaborative and outward looking
professional and competent, setting high standards to retain and attract new people, reflecting UK diversity
innovative, embracing the use of best available technology and sharing best practices
engaging constructively and strategically with Government, regulators, local communities and other stakeholders
The Mineral Products Industry supplies the essential raw and manufactured mineral products to support future sustainable economic growth, whilst also playing its part in the transition to a low carbon and more circular economy.
