Young Poong Seokpo Zinc Smelter

Operated by Young Poong CorporationKR · Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-dosmelter

Young Poong's Seokpo smelter — the world's sixth-largest zinc producer (~2.4% global zinc output in 2023); annual indium capacity ~100 tonnes. In November 2024, the Supreme Court of Korea ordered a 58-day operational suspension (February 26–April 24, 2026) due to cadmium wastewater discharge violations into the Nakdong River. Young Poong has accumulated 76 environmental violations since 2013. The suspension created a short-term indium supply disruption in South Korea. Source: BusinessWire; Korea Herald.
