EBA

In 1998, the borates producers and importers established their representation at the EU level through EBA, a founding member of the Industrial Minerals Association Europe (IMA-Europe).

EBA is is a non-profit association whose members cooperate on scientific and legislative issues of common interest related to borates. Key aspects are those related to the environment, economic and social conditions, notably concerning health and safety, the improvement and standardisation of labour and occupational health conditions.

Membership in EBA is open to any company dealing with borates in Europe. As a member of IMA-Europe, the members benefit from a broad representation and a strong voice at the EU level and synergy of issues common to the industrial minerals sector.

The membership of EBA comprises 6 companies and covers more than 95% of the EU borates production.
