More than 100 experts from 18 countries are participating in the Zinc & Lead Expert Committee Meeting 2023 in Plovdiv, BTA reported. The event is organized by the German Society of Metallurgists and Miners (GDMB) and Bulgaria’s lead-zinc producer KCM 2000.

"The Green Deal is inconceivable without non-ferrous metals, because they are vital for energy storage, especially nickel and zinc", Sabina Grund, Associate Director Sustainable Development, International Zinc Association, told journalists. She pointed out that demand for zinc is increasing for this reason. It is used to store the intermittent flow of energy. Zinc is also used to galvanize the poles of the power grid. It protects the steel from corrosion and extends the life of the facilities. State-of-the-art trends in recycling, circular economy and environmental technologies in metallurgical recovery, are also among the topics discussed at the meeting.
