Zinc can be recycled endlessly without losing its physical or chemical properties. Using state-of-the-art techniques, we efficiently recover and purify zinc from residues, zinc scrap, ensuring no valuable raw material is wasted.
This closed-loop process allows us to reintroduce high-quality recycled zinc back into the industry, maintaining a continuous supply and reducing the need for virgin zinc extraction. This approach not only provides economic benefits for our clients but also ensures that valuable materials are preserved for future generations.
Our commitment to a circular economy supports environmental sustainability and a greener future.
At Rezinal, we recycle zinc sustainably, contributing to a circular economy by reducing the use of new raw materials and lowering CO2 emissions. Zinc can be infinitely recycled without loss of chemical or physical properties. Recycled zinc is suitable for the same applications.
Sustainable zinc is made from 100% waste materials, unlike primary zinc, which is produced from mined ores.
Our process begins with the collection of zinc residues from various sources within the zinc-processing industry, including zinc ashes from hot-dip galvanising, zinc scrap, and other zinc-containing materials. These materials undergo meticulous recycling using the best available technologies.
The raw materials, purchased worldwide, are first analyzed and checked to assess their quality and value. Next, a mechanical pretreatment such as sorting and cutting the old zinc scrap takes place. Zinc ashes are sieved to separate the metal fraction from the fine powdery fraction. Both metals are then melted at about 500 degrees Celsius. The molten zinc is cast into blocks, while by-products are used as raw materials for the zinc processing industry.
Sustainable zinc looks identical to primary zinc from ores. To highlight its eco-friendly nature, the blocks are tied with green straps.
