Zinc is 100% Recyclable and Eco-FriendlyÂ
Zinc finishes have many benefits including a long lifespan and being 100% recyclable. This means that they are a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for designers. Unlike steel, zinc has the ability to resist corrosion due to a unique reaction that occurs when exposed to moisture and the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. It develops a protective layer called a zinc-carbonate layer that creates a beautiful patina that is unique and appealing and can last over 60 years in most climates.
