Durable, resource-efficient, and free of harmful substances—these are the hallmarks of circular zinc surfaces, which give steel products a virtually unlimited lifespan. They can be repaired, remanufactured, and fully recycled—making them a key component of a functioning circular economy.
With our circular business model, Planet ZINQ, we develop precisely these kinds of products while simultaneously optimizing our processes along the entire value chain. The promotional video shows how we put this approach into practice—and how individual measures come together to form a holistic system.
Planet ZINQ embodies our commitment to breaking new ground even in energy- and resource-intensive industries: toward an economic model that keeps resources in circulation and systematically reduces emissions. The measures developed for this purpose are based on standardized, freely available standards and, thanks to their modular structure, can also be applied to other companies and industries.
Our goal is products of Triple-Zero quality—zero CO₂ emissions, zero waste, and zero pollution.
Planet ZINQ was awarded the German Environmental Prize 2025 for this approach.
