Lead and Zinc

Lead and zinc are widely used metals due to their unique properties. Lead, known for its density and malleability, is used in applications such as batteries, radiation shielding, and soldering. On the other hand, zinc, recognized for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to form alloys, is essential in the galvanization of steel, the manufacture of electronic components and the production of alloys such as brass.

Recycling lead and zinc highlights the sector's commitment to sustainability, allowing these valuable metals to be efficiently reincorporated into the production cycle. This process not only reduces the need to extract primary metals, but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with mining and processing new materials, encouraging more sustainable and responsible industrial practices.
