An 11 Oct industry feature names Elsewedy's planned copper-from-scrap complex (about 20 kt/yr, $80m) and says local scrap is short on volume and quality. If it goes ahead, it will need regular copper scrap and e-waste feed. No timeline is given, so treat this as an early relationship target.

Compliance الامتثال
Hazardous material. e-waste may contain hazardous parts and data-bearing devices (data-wipe certificate). Handling needs a licensed operator (in Saudi Arabia a MWAN waste-management licence; elsewhere the local environmental permit). Cross-border moves of hazardous waste fall under the Basel Convention (prior informed consent). Check export and import rules for each country involved. This is not legal advice.
