Sustainable products have more of an impact in Canada than they presently do in the United States. The environmentalists in Canada have kept a close eye on the Vale Nickel Plant, so using sustainable material in the project was a high priority. Galvanizing was the perfect choice to meet this requirement as zinc is a naturally occuring element and galvanized steel is 100% recyclable at the end of its life-cycle.

Vale Inco knew the importance of protecting their steel from corrosion and have been utilizing galvanizing in Eurpoe as well as their North American facilities. Vale Nickel Plant Vale Nickel Plant Vale Nickel Plant Vale Nickel Plant Vale Nickel Plant
