Zinc (Zn) is a chemical element with atomic number 30 and located in group 12 of the periodic table of the elements. It is one of the least common metals and accounts for about 0.0075% of the earth’s crust. It is found in the form of minerals, e.g. blende (zinc sulphides), calamine (silicates) and smithsonite (carbonate).

Zinc recycling

Zinc can be recycled without losing its physical and chemical properties. Zinc can be recycled from scrap brass products, scrap from galvanising and scrap zinc parts. Zinc coated steel scrap is generally produced from scrap from manufacturing processes and scrap from obsolete products. Almost 30% of the zinc consumed is obtained from recycling and currently 90% of the metal that can be recycled is recycled.
