C-Prize 2019 winner Zincovery

Our newest affiliated start-up, Christchurch-based Zincovery, has been awarded this year's C-Prize for their world-leading innovative solution to save the environment from acid waste.

Zincovery is the brainchild of Associate Professor Aaron Marshall and MacDiarmid Institute alumnus Jonathan Ring who developed a process to recover high purity zinc, iron and acid from material that would otherwise become expensive landfill. 

The C-Prize is a biennual competition run by Callaghan Innovation that looks for world-leading innovative solutions to environmental problems.
