The 3R Principle: A Commitment to Sustainable Luxury Packaging*
REDUCE*
Thanks to an eco-design approach, we optimize the weight of each component – for example by designing them as hollow, two-part structures – while preserving the expected aesthetics and quality.
REUSE*
Metals offer the advantage of being recyclable in a closed-loop system, making it possible to incorporate a high proportion of post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled materials (PCR). Whether in aluminum, zamak or brass, this circularity results in a reduced CO₂ footprint per component.
RECYCLE*
The use of the Zamak recyclability symbol “ZP5” guarantees full control over the product’s end-of-life, ensuring it is reintegrated into its recycling loop.
Green’ZL® – Choosing the Right Metal, with the Right Impact
Green’Zl® is our responsible Zamak bar, designed to guide our clients toward the most efficient material choices in terms of environmental impact, recyclability and durability.
ZL5 90 % w/UE primary Zinc® : 672 kg CO₂/T
The Zamak commonly used in our products contains 90% recycled material. Its carbon footprint is calculated here based on zinc produced within the European Union, resulting in a reduced environmental impact thanks to the European energy mix, which is greener than the global average for primary zinc production.
ZL5 100 % w/UE primary Zinc® : 120 kg CO₂/T
Zamak made from 100% recycled material sourced in Europe has the lowest carbon footprint. However, its use results in higher packaging costs due to the increased price associated with sourcing recycled materials.
ZL5 90 % w/World primary Zinc® : 980 kg CO₂/T
The Zamak with the highest carbon footprint in this analysis is composed of 90% recycled material and 10% primary zinc sourced from global production. The data used here comes from the Ecoinvent database, which provides carbon footprint values only for primary zinc at a global level.
ZL5 100 % w/World primary Zinc® : 362.4 kg CO₂/T
ZL5 Zamak composed of 100% global primary zinc emits 362.4 kg CO₂ per tonne. Recycled Zamak can be sourced outside the EU, but with a slightly higher carbon footprint due to a less favorable energy mix.

TRACEABLE AND RECOGNIZED RECYCLING CHANNELS.
SEGEDE has committed to mapping non-ferrous metal recycling streams to demonstrate their ability to be efficiently collected, sorted, and separated—particularly through eddy current separation and optical sorting technologies (LBS)—achieving over 98% purity and efficiency.
Our work has been adopted and validated by the CEN as well as by the eco-organizations CITEO and LEKO in their recyclability guidelines, which now classify aluminum and Zamak as fully recyclable within the context of packaging recycling.

“Thanks to SEGEDE, we designed a cap worthy of the prestige of our XO bottle, combining excellence and responsibility. By optimizing its internal structure, we reduced its carbon footprint by 40%, while preserving Zamak—a material whose tactile feel enhances the experience expected by our high-end customers.”
