Demonstration pilot plant for reusing non-ferrous metal waste – GREENZO

The aim of the GREENZO project is to develop and validate, at a pre-industrial level, a pilot plant for obtaining zinc oxide from non-ferrous metal waste such as Zamak. Its use will be validated in two industrial sectors: manufacture of rubber and chemical processes of catalysis. This action will reuse waste from the industrial process of transforming Zamak for application in products of high usability. [...]
