Hindustan Zinc Limited, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and one of the leading silver producers globally, has unveiled EcoZen, a breakthrough low-carbon zinc brand designed to advance sustainable industrial manufacturing. As Asia’s first green zinc, EcoZen records over 75% lower carbon emissions than conventionally produced zinc, setting a new sustainability standard for the metals industry. The innovation supports India’s fast-growing sectors — including automotive, renewable energy, and infrastructure — by helping manufacturers transition to cleaner and more resilient supply chains.
Manufactured using renewable power sources and certified under REACH, EcoZen reflects Hindustan Zinc’s commitment to producing responsibly sourced materials that align with international environmental standards. Each tonne of EcoZen used in galvanizing applications can help avoid approximately 400 kilograms of CO₂ emissions per tonne of steel, offering a tangible pathway toward industrial decarbonization.
Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, commented “At Hindustan Zinc, sustainability defines how we operate and innovate. EcoZen represents a transformative leap in reducing the carbon intensity of metal production. By offering a low-carbon alternative, we enable customers to meet their climate goals while continuing to deliver high performance and reliability. This initiative reinforces our purpose — to produce metals responsibly and power a greener future.”
EcoZen strengthens Hindustan Zinc’s position as a leader in climate-smart manufacturing, combining advanced technology with renewable energy integration. Its use supports compliance with evolving global and domestic carbon standards while enhancing sustainability credentials across the value chain.
Backed by a global supply network spanning over 40 countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Hindustan Zinc plans to make EcoZen the preferred choice for industries seeking certified, low-emission materials. The product’s launch underlines India’s growing capability to deliver world-class sustainable metal solutions and contributes to the nation’s “Viksit Bharat” vision of clean, inclusive growth.
