Kuwait announces opening of new steel recycling plant in 2025

Kuwait-based Metal & Recycling Company (MRC) has announced plans to launch a new steel recycling plant with the capacity to process 60,000 tonnes of scrap metal annually, expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2025. The investment is projected to prevent between 20,000 and 90,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.

The facility will address gaps in the country's industrial waste management sector, while providing local manufacturers with cost-effective raw materials. By reducing dependence on imported steel, the initiative aligns with Kuwait’s Vision 2035 and directly contributes to the nation’s sustainable industrial development goals.

Equipped with advanced technology, the plant will feature automated sorting systems, energy-efficient production lines, and environmentally friendly filtration solutions. The project is also expected to support local employment and is seen as part of a broader strategy for environmentally responsible economic growth.
