Hindustan Zinc and Silox India Partner for Low-Carbon Zinc
Hindustan Zinc, a big zinc producer, and Silox India, a chemical maker, are working together to use a special kind of zinc called EcoZen.
EcoZen is made using renewable energy and has a much smaller carbon footprint than regular zinc.
This means it helps the environment by reducing pollution.
Silox India will use EcoZen in its products to make them more eco-friendly.
EcoZen is verified by third parties to ensure it meets high standards for quality and sustainability.
This partnership helps both companies work towards a greener future.
Hindustan Zinc and Silox India have partnered to adopt EcoZen, a low-carbon zinc product.
EcoZen has a carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne CO₂ per tonne of zinc, 75% lower than the global average.
Using EcoZen in galvanizing can avoid approximately 400 kg of CO₂ emissions per tonne of steel.
EcoZen offers full traceability and third-party verification for transparency and compliance.
The partnership supports long-term sustainability goals for both companies.
