Zinchem is a key player in the recycling of both new and end-of-life zinc residues and zinc scrap.

As the major producer of zinc chemicals in Africa, Zinchem consumes and converts residues in cradle-to-grave processes, sourcing from local and international markets:
  • Continuous galvanising top dross
  • General galvanising bottom dross
  • Crude and fine ash and skimmings
  • Zinc blowings (blue powder)
  • General zinc residues
  • Other new and end of life zinc scrap

We are also a consumer of primary zinc.

By maintaining an unimpeachable standard of integrity in all our business processes, Zinchem’s Supply Chain Department strives to optimise the use of the scarce resources for which it is responsible.

Zinchem seeks to comply by the letter and spirit of sound and ethical procurement principles.  Furthermore, we strive to create win-win partnerships with suppliers to achieve a total cost of ownership reduction for all stakeholders.

Zinchem recycles all its own residues, and aims for zero waste generation through a cradle-to-grave concept.

Zinchem invites the zinc industry to contact us for the procurement of your zinc residues and zinc waste.
