Project
For the circular pavilion „kreisl Kiste“ on the Domplatz in Münster, some of the used steel sections were taken to the ZINQ site in Essen. There, ZINQ removed the existing zinc coating, structurally adapted the sections and then re-galvanised them using ecoZINQ. In this way, the existing components could be prepared for further use without deploying new steel material. The old zinc coating was recycled in a closed loop.
„For us it was clear from the outset that for the kreisl Kiste we needed partners who not only understand the circular economy, but also put it into practice. With ZINQ, that worked wonderfully. The technical preparation of the steel profiles was a major contribution to enabling us to realise our commitment to re-use.“
