Al Taweelah recycling plant
Emirates Global Aluminium’s recycling plant in Al Taweelah is the largest aluminium recycling facility in the United Arab Emirates. It began production in 2026.
Historically, most aluminium scrap generated in the UAE was exported for processing overseas, and lost to the national economy.
At Al Taweelah recycling plant, we process post-consumer aluminium scrap, and some pre-consumer aluminium scrap, which is blended with primary aluminium into low-carbon, high-quality billets and T Bars.
EGA supplies local and global markets with low carbon recycled metal produced at Al Taweelah recycling plant under the product name RevivAL.
Al Taweelah recycling plant’s scrap sorting system can shred and segregate up to 150 thousand tonnes of scrap per year, using magnetic, mechanical and x-ray segregation technology.
The plant’s 90 thousand tonnes per year melting furnace operates at around 750 degrees Celsius, and uses heat regeneration burners to further improve efficiency.
Liquid recycled metal is transferred to two 90 tonne capacity holding furnaces, which are used to blend recycled metal and primary aluminium from EGA’s nearby smelter, and adjust metal chemistry.
Al Taweelah recycling plant is equipped with a state-of-the-art casting line and homegenisation.
We can also transfer liquid metal with recycled content to our primary Casthouse in Al Taweelah, where it is blended with primary aluminium produced using solar power to make CelestiAL-R, and with primary metal produced using nuclear power to make MinimAL-R.
