ecoZINQ stands for CO2-reduced surface technology

ZINQ surfaces reliably and permanently protect steel against corrosion. With ecoZINQ, the environment is also protected: ecoZINQ measurably reduces the carbon footprint – 43 % less compared to conventional hot-dip galvanising surfaces according to DIN EN ISO 1461.*

* The Product Carbon Footprint has been third-party validated by Sphera Solutions GmbH and IBU. Proof of savings is available upon request.

ecoZINQ is an environmentally optimized development of our standard duroZINQ surface, offering the same familiar functional quality while contributing to reducing the product carbon footprint (PCF). In addition to efficiency measures in production, we consistently use CO2-reduced primary zinc and CO2-low recycling zinc of primary quality. Every ton of steel protected from corrosion with ecoZINQ saves 185 kg of CO2 – compared to high-quality coating systems. The underlying Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data and the savings are independently verified and documented in an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD according to EN 15804+A2).

At the same time, ecoZINQ offers high ecological quality without compromising product quality: Like all ZINQ galvanizing surfaces, ecoZINQ is Cradle to Cradle Certified® and can be fully recycled as a material-safe product into closed material cycles. This circular quality is documented in a product circularity data sheet (PCDS) and all environmental impacts are captured over the entire product life cycle.
