January 2009 – Verzinkerij Kampen recently started to provide degalvanisation for steel materials in addition to its galvanisation services. Degalvanising used materials and then galvanising them again, where appropriate prior to powder coating, makes it possible to use them again for the same applications, such as crash barriers, balcony fences and scaffolding material. The sustainable recycling of existing materials is, given the shortage of raw materials and the costs of new material, a good option and it is increasingly widespread in renovation projects.
