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
