	Description:		Zinc is widely used to galvanise steel and iron, putting a protective layer over it to make the metals non-corrosive. But the process creates a lot of waste, and recycling zinc is more emissions-intensive than mining it in the first place. It's a problem Jonathan Ring went back to university to solve, working on it for his masters at the University of Canterbury under engineer Aaron Marshall.
