Zinc

More than 11 million tons of zinc is consumed across the globe and is extracted in more than fifty countries.

It is the fourth most used metal in the world after steel, aluminium and copper, and plays an important role in the automotive and construction industries thanks to its anti-corrosive properties. Zinc, like steel, can also be indefinitely recycled, reducing the need to mine and extract the metal from ores

Zinc is a naturally occurring element found in the earth’s crust, normally in association with lead and other metals including copper, gold and silver. Approximately 70% of the world’s zinc is produced from mining while the rest comes from recycling secondary zinc.

Zinc mines are scattered throughout the world with China, Peru and Australia being the principal producers of the metal – China produced around 38% of the global zinc output in 2014 – followed by the US, Canada, India, Kazakhstan, Bolivia, Mexico and Ireland within the top ten producing countries. China also plays a significant role on the demand side, standing alongside the USA and Japan as the top consumers of zinc.
