Hindustan Zinc, Silox Adopt EcoZen for Low-Carbon Manufacturing

Hindustan Zinc, the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, has recently strengthened its long-standing partnership with Silox India through the adoption of its low-carbon zinc brand, EcoZen, across Silox India’s manufacturing operations. The collaboration marks a significant step towards advancing low-carbon practices and greener supply chains within India’s industrial ecosystem.
By integrating EcoZen into its processes, Silox India will reduce the embedded carbon footprint of its zinc-based chemical products while maintaining global performance and quality standards. EcoZen is Asia’s first low-carbon zinc produced entirely using renewable energy, with a verified carbon footprint of less than one tonne of  CO₂  per tonne of zinc—around 75 per cent lower than the global industry average. In downstream applications such as galvanising, EcoZen can help avoid nearly 400 kg of  CO₂  emissions per tonne of steel compared with conventional zinc.
A Vedanta Group company, Hindustan Zinc supplies zinc to key sectors including infrastructure, automotive, power, chemicals and renewables. The company has prioritised reducing emissions not only within its own operations but also across customer value chains, positioning EcoZen as a core enabler of Scope 3 emission reduction.
Silox India, a major customer in the chemical applications segment, specialises in inorganic chemistry and non-ferrous metal derivatives. The adoption of EcoZen aligns with its ESG objectives by strengthening the sustainability credentials of its products and supply chain.
The partnership highlights the growing role of collaboration between upstream producers and downstream manufacturers in accelerating India’s transition towards a more sustainable, low-carbon industrial economy.
