Market Opportunity

  1. Rapid Urbanization & Industrial Growth
  • Dubai and the broader GCC are experiencing massive infrastructure development, generating increasing volumes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, including scrap metals.
  • Industrial growth, especially in manufacturing and automotive sectors, is outpacing the development of efficient, large-scale recycling infrastructure.
  1. Underutilization of Recyclable Metals
  • A significant portion of scrap metal is either exported as raw or unprocessed material or sent to landfill due to lack of local processing capacity.
  • Local industries are forced to import processed metal at a higher cost, despite abundant regional scrap availability.
  1. Environmental Pressures & Regulation Gaps
  • Sustainability goals under UAE Vision 2030 and Saudi Vision 2030 require significant reductions in carbon emissions and better waste management.
  • However, enforcement and infrastructure to support high-quality, environmentally responsible recycling are still developing.
  1. Inconsistent Quality & Fragmented Supply Chain
  • Many small-scale operators with outdated processes produce inconsistent-quality metal outputs.
  • Buyers (e.g., mills, manufacturers) face reliability issues and prefer consolidating purchases with reputable partners.
