COREZINC INNOVATION
Center of Industrial Research, Development and Innovation COREZINC
We operate our own R&D and Innovation Center focused on the industrial recycling of zinc residues, scrap and waste in order to develop our own state-of-the-art technologies and the development of innovative zinc products.
The Center includes pilot lines for research, development and materials testing, including its own laboratory, fully equipped with modern special laboratory analyzers and equipments for testing and analysis of all forms of zinc materials.
OUR PROJECTS
We are constantly striving to develop the company's activities in the field of recycling management, processing and use of zinc residues as renewable resources in order to ensure a higher degree of recycling to achieve a significant reduction in environmental impact.
Thanks to support from the OPŽP and OPPIK operational programs, we are successfully implementing several projects co-financed by the European Union and we are working intensively on others. Within the WASTen cluster, we participate in research, development and transfer of top innovative technologies with a focus on material and energy processing of industrial and municipal waste in the Czech Republic and the European Union.
In addition to higher recycling rates and support for the circular economy, one of our goals is to contribute to significant savings in raw material resources. Other ongoing projects are in the areas of energy saving, the use of waste as a renewable resource for innovative products production, the introduction of new systems and technologies under the initiative Industry 4.0, including digital applications for innovative technologies in recycling processes.
We are currently implementing several of the projects listed below.
