The state-of-the-art facility, with an annual production capacity of 170,000 tons, is being built adjacent to EGA’s existing smelter in Al Taweelah.

The plant will utilize a combination of post-consumer aluminum scrap, such as used window frames, and pre-consumer aluminum scrap generated from extrusion production, to produce low-carbon, high-quality premium aluminum billets. These billets will serve as a sustainable feedstock for various manufacturing applications, catering to both local and international markets under the product name RevivAL.

Completion of the plant is anticipated within the next three years, positioning EGA as the UAE’s leading consumer of aluminum scrap. Most of the aluminium scrap generated in the UAE is currently exported for processing outside the country, and is lost to the national economy.
