Waste and Recycling magazine is thrilled to present the latest edition of the highly anticipated Metals Recycling Confex (MRC) – a premier event bringing together industry experts from the metals recycling sector, this time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia’s metals recycling industry is on the cusp of impressive growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% from 2024 to 2030. Valued at USD 694 million in 2023, the sector accounts for 32% of the Middle East and North Africa's recycling market, driven by demand from key sectors like automotive, construction, and electronics. However, challenges remain, including low recycling rates, inadequate infrastructure, and high scrap transportation costs (IMARC, 2024).

In line with Vision 2030, the Saudi government is tackling these challenges through ambitious initiatives, including a plan to recycle 100 million tonnes of waste annually and achieve a 95% recycling rate. These efforts are set to create over 100,000 jobs while enhancing environmental sustainability.

MRC 2025 in Riyadh will be the central platform to discuss these challenges and explore the opportunities ahead. The event will offer a blend of strategic insights, cutting-edge technology showcases, and global networking opportunities, making it the go-to destination for those shaping the future of metals recycling in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East region.

By attending MRC 2025, you will have the opportunity to connect with Saudi Arabia's metals recycling community, discover the latest technologies and innovations, and engage with industry leaders working toward the Kingdom's Vision 2030 recycling goals.

Focusing on regional and local advancements, MRC will feature in-depth discussions on sustainable solutions and market trends, providing attendees with the tools to navigate Saudi Arabia’s evolving circular economy.
