Austrian operation wins Imerys Climate Change Strategy Award

Our team in Weisskirchen, Austria, has won the 2018 Imerys SD Challenge under the category 'Climate Change Strategy'. The winning scheme involves feeding waste heat from the talc processing plant into the local heating network and has been providing "clean" heating to some 150 households,  local schools and other public buildings since 1980.
