Hot Dip Galvanizing - A Green Future

At Widnes Galvanising, we are committed to preventing pollution and minimising environmental impacts.

We actively manage emissions and ensure the highest environmental protection in every project and process. The illustration below demonstrates how we remain sustainable at each stage of the galvanising process, from collecting steelwork from customers to delivering it to its final destination.

The sustainability of galvanised steel

Galvanised steel is used across our daily lives, being used in housing, infrastructure, transport, manufacturing, agriculture, and even art. It is a sustainable, environmentally friendly material that contributes to the circular economy. The galvanising process itself is also eco-friendly. Our diagram shows how it fits into each stage of the circular economy.

Sustainability and the circular economy

Widnes Galvanising embraces the principles of a circular economy.

We reject the conventional ‘use, throwaway, remake’ model, instead aiming for sustainability by eliminating waste and repurposing resources.

Galvanised steel structures and components perfectly fit into circular economy principles, as they can be made, used, remade, reused, and recycled.
