elZinc, a renowned brand in the world of high-quality zinc products, is delighted to announce that it has secured the esteemed carbon footprint certification in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO14067:2019 standard. This certification applies to a range of elZinc's rolled products, which includes elZinc Alkimi® (comprising natural zinc and the five grey pre-patinated variations) and elZinc Rainbow®.
This achievement stands as a testament to elZinc's unwavering dedication to upholding industry standards that validate environmentally responsible practices and contribute to the global fight against climate change. It also emphasizes the integral role played by Exterior Technologies Group as a Canadian reseller of elZinc's exceptional product offerings.
The Carbon Footprint certification comprehensively measures the total volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated throughout the entire lifecycle of the product, from its inception ("Cradle") to the point of manufacture ("Gate"). This exhaustive analysis encompasses several critical stages:
Extraction and Production of Raw Materials: This phase takes into account the initial acquisition and processing of the raw materials used in elZinc's products.
Transport of Raw Materials to the elZinc Plant: The carbon footprint analysis also extends to include the environmental impact associated with transporting these materials to the elZinc facility.
Manufacture of elZinc Natural, elZinc Alkimi, and elZinc Rainbow Coil and Sheet: Finally, the certification evaluates the environmental footprint of the production processes involved in creating elZinc's Natural, Alkimi, and Rainbow coil and sheet products.
With regards to Exterior Technologies Group, a prominent Canadian reseller of elZinc, this certification underscores elZinc's commitment to quality and sustainability while reinforcing the company's alignment with Canada's growing emphasis on sustainable construction materials and responsible environmental stewardship.
By obtaining both the Organization Carbon Footprint certificate and the Product Carbon Footprint certificate, elZinc gains valuable insights into identifying processes that contribute significantly to emissions. Armed with this knowledge, the company, along with Exterior Technologies Group, is better equipped to develop and implement emission reduction programs, further solidifying its dedication to sustainable and environmentally conscious practices.
