Metals Recycling Confex 2025: Advancing Circular Economy Goals in Saudi Arabia
As global industries push toward sustainability and circular economy models, Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a strategic hub in the metals recycling sector. The Metals Recycling Confex (MRC) 2025, set to take place at the Riyadh Marriott Hotel, reflects this transformation. With a projected CAGR of 3.6% between 2024 and 2030, and a market value of USD 694 million in 2023, Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as a regional powerhouse in recycling.
Organized by Waste & Recycling MEA, MRC 2025 will bring together government bodies, technology innovators, business leaders, and environmental experts to drive dialogue and deliver practical solutions for metals recycling. The event also plays a vital role in furthering the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which includes ambitious waste management targets and job creation in the green economy.
Unlocking Opportunities Amidst Challenges in Metals Recycling
While the metals recycling sector in Saudi Arabia is on a promising growth trajectory, it faces multiple systemic challenges. These include low recycling rates, high logistics costs, and inadequate infrastructure. Despite these issues, the Kingdom has outlined plans to recycle 100 million tonnes of waste annually and reach a 95% recycling rate, which would significantly enhance environmental sustainability and generate over 100,000 jobs.
Key drivers for market growth include:
Rising demand from automotive, electronics, and construction industries
National support under Vision 2030 for circular economy practices
Increased investment in sustainable infrastructure
Global shifts toward low-carbon, resource-efficient economies
As Saudi Arabia contributes 32% to the MENA region’s recycling market, conferences like MRC 2025 play a pivotal role in overcoming barriers and fostering collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders.
