Oman’s Copper Scrap and Wastes Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Copper scrap is one of the supply sources in the copper industry. It accounts for a third of total copper consumption in Oman. Scrap is used in either of two ways: it is cast and refined into cathodes or unwrought products, or directly used in the production of copper and alloy semis. In the latter case, production costs are significantly reduced. Thus, copper scrap is mostly cast into unwrought products and sold to upstream buyers (to be converted into cathode) and downstream semis producers. It should be noted that semis producers with fire refining furnaces directly use scrap rather than secondary unwrought copper to produce semis.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Scrap and Waste Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
The low energy consumption required for recycling aluminum makes the process important. The energy required to recycle aluminum is about 4-5% of the energy that is needed to produce the light-weight metal from bauxite. Thus, recycling aluminum will result in 95% energy saving. Aluminum scrap and waste fall into two general categories: new and old scrap. New scrap is metal that is left over during the production of finished products or semis. Old scrap, on the other hand, is metal from end-of-life goods. Aluminum scrap can be used by producers with melting capacities.

United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Foil Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Most of the aluminum foil produced in the United Arab Emirates uses continuous casting and rolling. Perishable food and drug packaging as well as disposable containers are the most important applications of aluminum foil. Most of the country’s demand is met through imports, with domestic output taking a small share of the market. The United Arab Emirates’ food and drug industry has grown over the years, bolstering demand for aluminum foil.

Old scrap, on the other hand, is metal from end-of-life goods. Aluminum scrap can be used by producers with melting capacities, which include producers of secondary unwrought, casting parts, sheets and plates, and wire rod in Iran. A major portion of these products are produced by secondary smelters. Given the importance of scrap and waste, the market is expected to grow over the coming years.

United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Aluminum smelters (unwrought producers) fall into two categories: primary and secondary smelters. Molten aluminum cast as unwrought products can be produced either through alumina electrolysis in primary smelters or through remelting scrap and pure ingots in secondary smelters. Primary smelting is a cost-intensive process; thus, such plants are usually large-scale producers that can be economical with capacities above 100,000 tonnes. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.
Secondary smelting capacity is limited in the United Arab Emirates and most of the unwrought aluminum comes from EGA’s primary smelter. Unwrought aluminum is in three forms: ingots, billets, and slabs. While aluminum ingots are produced through single-batch casting of molten aluminum in 1,000lb or 50lb molds, slab and billets are produced through direct chill casting. Ingots are re-melted before use, but billets and slabs are usually extruded and rolled, respectively, into profiles and flat products. With no integrated hot rolling mills in the country, there is no domestic supply of slabs.

United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Casting Parts Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Aluminum casting parts are part of the downstream supply chain of the aluminum industry; raw materials for the sector include both primary and secondary sources. One of the unique properties of aluminum in addition to the high specific strength and its high electrical and thermal conductivity, is the relatively low melting point that makes casting possible at low costs. Aluminum casting parts are produced using a variety of processes. Among these, pressure die casting and permanent mold casting are the most common. Sand casting also takes a considerable share of the market owing to low initial cost requirements.
The possibility of casting aluminum into complex shapes has translated into wide applications of casting parts in various industries. On a global scale, the automotive industry is the largest consumer of aluminum casting parts; however, in the United Arab Emirates, construction, followed by durable goods (with a smaller share), is the largest consumer of aluminum casting parts.
