The Zircon Industry Association (ZIA) is excited to announce the launch of a new video series that explores zircon’s production, unique properties, and its many applications.

The series offers valuable insights into:

• The unique properties of zircon
• Its role in sustainable and low-impact applications
• The technical advantages it offers across industries - from ceramics to green energy

The series features commentary from three respected industry leaders:

These videos showcase how zircon equals quality and sustainability”
