How can the use of rolled zinc contribute to obtaining LEED certification?
The use of rolled zinc in an American commercial building can contribute to obtaining LEED certification in the Materials and Resources category because it contributes to the protection of natural resources: rolled zinc is 100% recyclable. Because products can be recovered easily at the end of their life and there is an extensive network of buyers offering advantageous prices, the recycling rate for zinc at the end of its life is extremely high (90% in western Europe).
