About Incopa

INCOPA stands for the INorganic COagulants Producers Association and is a Sector Group of Cefic, the European Chemical Industry Council.

INCOPA gathers together the European manufacturers of inorganic coagulants and aluminium and iron salts which are mainly used for water treatment, paper manufacturing, in the cement industry and by fertiliser producers and others.

INCOPA’s key objectives are:

  • To monitor and provide input on the regulatory developments on issues of importance to the industry, eg. waste water treatment and sludge disposal
  • To represent the industry with the regulatory bodies and trade associations active in the field
  • To promote and defend the merits of the treatment of waste water with chemical coagulants by bringing forward evidence of their efficiency and cost effectiveness.
