Metals with specific industrial uses
Lead and zinc
Lead and zinc are widely used metals thanks to their distinctive properties. Lead, known for its density and malleability, is used in batteries, radiation shielding and solder. Zinc, recognised for its corrosion resistance and its ability to form alloys, is essential for galvanising steel, making electronic components and producing alloys such as brass.

What it is
Definition and industrial context.
Recycling them lets these valuable metals go back into the production cycle efficiently: it reduces the need to extract primary metals and minimises the environmental impact of mining and processing new materials.
