ECOLOGY / SUSTAINABILITY
Zinc requires less energy to smelt / produce than comparable materials. The product is extremely long-lasting and virtually maintenance free and can be infinitely recycled. It is easy and cost effective to recycle after the useful life of a building as it is recycled without additional production requirements such as paint removal or separation of composite materials.It can be 100% recycled with low primary and secondary energy requirements, causes minimal CO2 emissions during production and is therefore a heavyweight amongst construction metals.
Zinc is not only recyclable but infinitely so and will not become landfill.
Certified with, LEED, BRE, Cradle to Cradle
DIN ISO 14025 Type III, EMS ISO 14001
