Waste and Recycling magazine is proud to bring to you yet another edition of the much-lauded Metals Recycling Confex (MRC) - an elite gathering of experts from the metals recycling industry - this time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia’s metals recycling market is poised for remarkable growth, with a projected CAGR of 3.6% from 2024 to 2030. Valued at USD 694 million in 2023, the sector contributes 32% of the Middle East and North Africa’s recycling market, driven by demand in industries like automotive, construction, and electronics. Despite this potential, challenges such as low recycling rates, inadequate infrastructure, and high scrap transportation costs persist (IMARC, 2024).
Aligned with Vision 2030, the Saudi government is addressing these issues with bold initiatives, including a plan to recycle 100 million tonnes of waste annually and achieve a 95% recycling rate. These efforts are expected to create over 100,000 jobs and boost environmental sustainability.
MRC 2025 in Riyadh will serve as a key platform to address these challenges and unlock opportunities. Combining strategic insights, technology showcases, and global networking opportunities, it is the ultimate destination for shaping the future of metals recycling in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East region.
