EcoZen by Hindustan Zinc Reduces Carbon Footprint by Over 75%

Hindustan Zinc, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top five silver producers globally, has strengthened its sustainability leadership with EcoZen — Asia’s first low-carbon zinc, delivering over 75% lower carbon intensity compared to conventional zinc.

EcoZen represents a major leap in green manufacturing, unlocking low-carbon supply chains across key growth sectors such as automotive, renewables, and infrastructure. Produced using renewable energy and backed by REACH certification, EcoZen meets global benchmarks for responsible and sustainable production. Each tonne of EcoZen is estimated to enable carbon emission avoidance of approximately 400 kg for every tonne of steel galvanized.

“At Hindustan Zinc, sustainability and innovation are the foundation of our operations. EcoZen represents a significant leap in reimagining traditional industries through technology and sustainable innovation,” said Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc. “By reducing the carbon footprint of zinc production, we are enabling customers worldwide to achieve their sustainability goals while strengthening our commitment to responsible mining and manufacturing.”

EcoZen reinforces Hindustan Zinc’s focus on embedding sustainability and circularity into its business strategy, enabling industries to meet domestic and international climate goals and enhance their sustainability credentials. The product provides a high-performance, low-carbon alternative without compromising on quality, reliability, or strength — supporting India’s vision of Viksit Bharat and advancing global industrial decarbonization.

With a supply network spanning over 40 countries across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Hindustan Zinc is uniquely positioned to scale the global adoption of EcoZen. Leveraging its state-of-the-art production facilities, renewable energy infrastructure, and strong logistics network, the company aims to make EcoZen the preferred low-carbon zinc solution for industries worldwide.

As a global leader in integrated zinc and silver production, Hindustan Zinc continues to invest in innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship, reaffirming its commitment to responsible resource production and the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
