Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) announced on February 9 that it plans to build a 150,000-tonne-per-year aluminium recycling facility, which is the company's first and is set to be the largest in the UAE.
The facility will process post-consumer aluminium scrap such as used window frames, as well as pre-consumer aluminium scrap from extrusion production, into low-carbon, high quality aluminium billets. Aluminium scrap for the recycling facility will primarily be sourced from the UAE and the region. EGA intends to market recycled aluminium under the product name EternAL.
This facility will also strengthen EGA's position as global leader in billet production, growing its capacity from about 1.15 million tonnes per year to some 1.3 million tonnes.
Feasibility studies for the project are underway and production ramp-up could begin as early as 2024.
