Zircon Industry Association, 24 Old Bond Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4AP, UK
Welcome to the
The Zircon Industry Association is a non-profit trade association, that works on behalf of our membership to develop and promote zircon, zirconia and derivative substances by advocating the benefits of their extensive application in today’s world.
Our members commit to ZIA values which serve to encourage the industry to operate sustainably and with integrity.
Zircon is a versatile material and has various derivative forms.
ZIA completed the first ever global LCA for the use of zircon in the manufacture of ceramic tiles.
Zircon has unique properties, making it essential for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications.
Best practice guides for transporting zircon as a NORM.
ZIA aims to support members by providing guidance on best practice in the industry.
The handbook provides information on market statistics, uses and applications of zircon and emerging research and development.
ZIA has published its first Zircon Industry and Market Trends report. Developed in collaboration with TZMI, it is available exclusively to members.
The report provides an independent and credible source of industry ESG data against 18 key performance indicators for the years 2018-2020.
Zircon-containing tiles have a lower environmental burden than those made with alumina according to a new Life Cycle Assessment study.
