Zamak: The carbon footprint officially revised downward in the Ecoinvent database

A major update cuts previous emission estimates by a factor of three and confirms the material’s potential

The latest update of the Ecoinvent database corrects a long-standing injustice: due to the absence of published environmental data until now, zamak had been historically penalized by largely overestimated carbon figures. Long evaluated at around 2,400 kg of CO₂ per ton, this alloy—used in many products, including packaging—now displays a revised footprint below 671 kg ac...

Zinc: Abundance, Recycling, and Industrial Performance

A key material enabling robust, local, and low-carbon value chains

Zinc is a strategic metal for modern industry, widely used in galvanizing, technical alloys, and high-precision components. Unlike many so-called critical raw materials, zinc benefits from a strong and well-distributed resource base. Estimated zinc resources in the Earth’s crust reach approximately 2.8 billion tonnes, ensuring long-term availability. Proven reserves, cor...
