How green is zinc?
Zinc is a non-corrosive, environmentally friendly product that like all metals, is 100% recyclable and has 100% clear water runoff. A natural material that never fades and retains its look, zinc has a life span expectancy of 60 – 100 years when exposed to the natural elements and even longer in interior applications.
Zinc's sustainability properties include:
- over 30% of the world's zinc used in all applications comes from recycled zinc products
- zinc produces the lowest energy consumption from ore of all non-ferrous metals, and energy consumption is even lower when zinc is produced from recycled material
- Bastille Metal Works uses only food grade zinc
- zinc is non-toxic and in humans its an essential requirement for good health
Moreover, maintenance costs are minimal because zinc naturally develops a protective zinc carbonate layer or patina as it weathers and ages, thus eliminating the need for paints and other coatings that might contain high levels of VOCs. Also, because the metal is uncoated, there is no possibility of fading, chipping, peeling or chafing, which reduces overall life cycle costs.
