What we do
Zinc dusts containing $10B USD worth of zinc are generated from the steel recycling industry every year. Only half of this dust is recycled, through an outdated and expensive process. The resulting zinc has double the CO2 footprint of mined zinc.
Zincovery has developed a solution. Our innovative process significantly reduces emissions and production cost. We are working with forward thinking cleantech investors, steel mills and zinc buyers to decarbonize the zinc recycling industry.
Our Solution - Green zinc by Zincovery
95% less emissions
With renewable electricity

Company's story
Our Specialty
Zincovery's patent pending technology
STEP 1
Our proprietary process uses hydrogen to break down zinc furnace dust, replacing the need for coal and fossil fuels.
STEP 2
Our unique acid leaching process dissolves the zinc.
STEP 3
Electricity is used to recover the dissolved zinc as a high-purity metal.
Technological development
Our pilot plant has begun operations
We've reached the following milestones:
Successfully recovered 200 kg of high-purity zinc from our pilot plant
Processed industrial zinc dusts from 9 different sources
Achieved over 90% zinc recovery rate
