Circular construction with steel x ZINQ
Steel and ZINQ – the number 1 among circular building materials
ZINQ’s Cradle to Cradle (C2C)-certified hot-dip galvanized surfaces permanently protect steel against corrosion, extend the service life of components by decades, and can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of quality. The product properties and positive environmental impacts of the surfaces are transparently documented based on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and incorporated into a digital circular product passport. With its circular business model Planet ZINQ, ZINQ has been consistently driving the circular transformation of surface technology for steel for over ten years.
Modular steel structures with ZINQ shorten construction times, create flexibility, and promote the circular economy through the reuse of entire components.
ZINQ surfaces contain neither pollutants found in paints such as PFAS/PFOS nor secondary microplastics that enter the biosphere through erosion. The certified material health of ZINQ surfaces protects the environment and enables seamless recycling into technical and biological cycles (design the loop).
ZINQ surfaces offer decades of corrosion protection – without the need for regular maintenance or complex post-treatment. This increases the longevity of building products in a “slow the loop” approach, conserves resources, and reduces operating and follow-up costs.
Circular construction begins with product design: ZINQ’s C2C-certified batch galvanized surfaces are developed to be permanently reused in technical and biological cycles. Their circular quality is verified in a Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS).
ZINQ and ArcelorMittal Steligence enter into strategic partnership to promote CO2-reduced steel products
ZINQ and ArcelorMittal are jointly driving forward solutions for a circular construction industry: Surface specialist ZINQ and the world’s leading steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal are launching a strategic partnership for CO2-reduced and recyclable steel products. The goal is to jointly launch the combination of XCarb® steel and ecoZINQ® surface as a CO2-optimized solution certified according to Cradle to Cradle standards, thus promoting the use of circular building materials in the construction industry – transparent and traceable from production through use to recycling.
