The Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC), part funded by Innovate UK, has invited industrial leaders from the cement industry to join its Industrial Advisory Board. The new Board provides a unique opportunity for businesses to achieve greener growth within the UK’s foundation industries.
FISC is a partnership of the UK’s major foundation industries’ Innovation and Research Centres - CPI, Glass Futures, Henry Royce Institute, Materials Processing Institute and Lucideon.
Philippa Glover, FISC Director, said, “Individuals joining FISC’s Industrial Advisory Board will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of the foundation industries. Members will work together to drive innovation and enhance sustainability, and we look forward to working with them on driving greener growth in the UK.”
The consortium’s flagship project, the Economic Material Innovation for Sustainable and Efficient use of Resources (EconoMISER), successfully secured funding to enhance the Consortium’s ability to support development, decarbonisation and ultimately enhance productivity of the UK foundation industries.
The foundation industries are responsible for 10% of the UK’s CO2 emissions, but also make a significant contribution to the UK’s economic prosperity. These industries contribute £52 billion to the UK economy, with metals, glass, chemicals, polymers, paper and card, ceramics, cement and concrete products being the building blocks of so much of our national infrastructure and consumer products.
By joining FISC’s External Advisory Board, members will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of the foundation industries, helping drive innovation, making them greener for the future.
