Zinc Products
As an industry leader committed to sustainability, RHEINZINK® has introduced RHEINZINK-prePATINA® ECO ZINC® architectural zinc products. Now produced using 50% less carbon dioxide (CO2), the company’s premium RHEINZINK-prePATINA products are now part of its RHEINZINK-ECO ZINC offering. This is the first architectural zinc material in the world to reduce an already small carbon footprint by more than half.
Effective February 2023, only certified reduced-carbon zinc is used to produce RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC products. To power this efficient process, the electric energy largely is generated from renewable sources including water and wind power. RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC material production generates significantly less CO2 than any other architectural zinc manufacturing process.
Along with a reduced environmental impact, RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC products maintain their consistent, high-quality value and performance, plus their proven resiliency, 100% recyclability, and more than 100-year lifespan. Continuing to deliver the pre-weathered, vintage aesthetic, RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC blue-grey and graphite-grey options are available. The natural metal is fabricated and installed as façade and wall cladding systems; zinc roofs; roof drainage and gutters; and architectural details on commercial, institutional, and residential projects across North America.
