UAE – Mubasher: Emirates Global Aluminium began the construction of the UAE’s largest aluminum recycling plant, according to a press release.
Being built next to EGA’s existing smelter in Al Taweelah, the facility will hold an annual capacity production of 170, 000 tonnes.
In line with the UAE’s Net 50 by 2050 Strategic Initiative, the plant will process post-consumer aluminum scrap into low-carbon, high-quality premium aluminum billets.
The new facility will supply local and global markets with low-carbon metal under the product name RevivAL. Meanwhile, the construction phase is expected to be completed within three years.
Abdulnasser bin Kalban, CEO EGA, said: “Aluminium recycling is key to our metal achieving its enormous potential to contribute to decarbonisation while improving global living standards.”
“This makes recycling the biggest global growth opportunity for our industry, and for EGA,” he added.
The CEO indicated: “Our construction of a major aluminum recycling plant will provide low carbon product options for our local and global customers while contributing to the national Operation 300bn industrial growth strategy.”
