Zinc is the 27th most common element in the Earth’s crust. More importantly, zinc is fully recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely – without loss of its physical or chemical properties. Zinc has excellent power density and is one of the most stable elements in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Zinc energy storage systems can power many electronic appliances 100% free of emissions. With many thousands of patents and literally millions of products to its credit, zinc has played a supporting role in many of the major inventions of the 20th and 21st centuries. From transistors to lasers, satellites to circuit boards, photocopiers to fuel cells, zinc is truly among the most versatile and essential materials known to mankind.
