We are committed to advancing our activities in sustainability, focusing on low carbon zinc products, recycling processing of zinc residues, waste and scrap for production of new circular zinc materials as renewable resources. Our goal is to enhance recycling rates and significantly reduce environmental impact.
Beyond improving recycling rates and promoting the circular economy, we aim to contribute to substantial raw material savings. Our ongoing projects encompass energy savings, the utilization of waste as a renewable resource for sustainable zinc products, and the implementation of new systems and technologies under the industry sustainable initiative, including digital applications for innovative recycling technologies.
With support from national operational programs and co-financing from European funds, we are successfully implementing various projects in research, development, and innovations. These efforts cover new innovative recycling and production technologies, automation, digitization of recycling processes, new unique advanced materials and contributions to the circular economy.
