Zinc recycling to preserve natural resources
The Reazn Group is continuously working
at the optimization of its zinc recycling
technologies in the context of its
prime grade zinc alloy production. The
European group improves the recovery
rate of zinc units and saves valuable
raw materials from the waste stream.
Zinc is one of the most suitable materials
for an upcycling recovery stream and
it helps to save natural resources and to
lower the carbon footprint for the
whole industry, the Belgian company
Reazn isconvinced. That is why it keeps
on investing inbetter recycling processes
and technologies and is committed
to reduce its CO 2
emissions. By doing so,
Reazn wants to change the perception
of secondary material and to promote
the concept of zinc recycling.
The Reazn Group celebrated its 1st
birthday on 18 February 2021. One year
ago, four brands were unified to
further strengthen the position in their
core zinc alloy business:
> Reazn Belgium NV (previously NFM
Cramet NV),
> Reazn SA (previously NFM Alloyz),
> Reazn UK Ltd (previously The Brock
Metal Company Ltd),
> Reazn +BV(previously ISTC BVBA).
Reazn produces 95,000 tons of zinc alloys annually, offering casting and customized
galvanizing alloys.
In 1988 Reazn Belgium started the production
of zinc alloys in Gent, already
focusing on secondary zinc units. Reazn
SA was founded in the year 1994 in Luxembourg.
The company is responsible
for the procurement of raw materials,
logistic processes &sales. Reazn UK originates
from the Brock Metal Company.
Its factory is located near Wolverhampton,
UK, and was established in 1949.
Last, Reazn+ complements Reazn Belgium
for the processing of complex
secondary raw materials on the Belgian
site.
Today, Reazn produces 95,000 tons
of zinc alloys per year, offering casting
and customized galvanizing alloys. The
company offers alogistical service to
their customers providing bins for collection
of the materials to be recycled.
Another objective is to recover zinc
units from post-consumer goods. It also
partly prevents the disposal of demolition
and household waste. Furthermore,
every by-product of Reazn´s recycling
process can be used as raw
material in other industrial applications.
