The Association of Canadian Industries
Recycling Coal Ash (CIRCA) promotes the use of Coal Combustion
Products (CCPs) in Canada to produce technically superior
concrete products. CIRCA keeps vigil on the national and
international scenes to keep Members on top of trends
in legislation, regulation and specification that may
have potential to limit the environmentally responsible
and socially beneficial uses of CCPs.
Diversity is one of CIRCA’s strengths;
with ash producers and marketers contributing to discussions
and decision-making, and regular input from other industry
representatives, participants get a broad perspective
on the ash industry as a whole. This enables CIRCA to
stay current with emerging issues and to develop coordinated
positions and a united voice on those that may affect
the use of CCPs.
Membership is open to Utilities with
coal-fired generation, Marketers of coal combustion products
(CCPs), Government & other agencies, Universities
and other stakeholders. An Associate Member category offers
individuals and small consulting companies the opportunity
