Zinc recycling involves the collection and processing of zinc materials, such as scrap metal and used batteries, to recover this essential metal. Our facility efficiently recycles zinc, reducing waste and conserving resources. By recycling zinc, we help lower environmental impact and support sustainable manufacturing practices. Join us in promoting a greener future
Zinc is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality or performance. Recycling zinc helps reduce the environmental impact of mining and processing new zinc ore. It also uses less energy—recycling zinc saves up to 60% of the energy required to produce it from raw materials. Furthermore, zinc recycling helps minimize waste by keeping scrap metal out of landfills and industrial waste streams.
Collection: Zinc scrap is collected from various sources, including galvanized steel, zinc-based batteries, die-casting alloys, and industrial waste. Scrap from old construction materials, automobiles, and household goods is also a valuable source of zinc.
Sorting: Zinc scrap is sorted and separated from other metals or materials. This ensures only high-quality zinc is processed, improving the efficiency and sustainability of the recycling process.
Shredding & Cleaning: After sorting, the zinc scrap is shredded into smaller pieces. These pieces are cleaned to remove impurities like coatings, paints, or adhesives that could affect the purity of the recycled zinc.
Melting: The cleaned zinc scrap is melted in a furnace at high temperatures. The melting process uses significantly less energy compared to extracting and processing zinc ore.
Refining: The molten zinc is refined to remove any remaining impurities and ensure it meets industry standards. The refined zinc is then cast into ingots or other forms for reuse.
Recasting: Recycled zinc is used in a variety of applications, such as galvanizing steel, producing brass, making batteries, and manufacturing various consumer goods.
