The equipment is processed by Ericsson-approved recyclers, fully licensed, with strong recycling performance and compliance with international environmental, health, and safety standards.

Imported hollow extrusions arrive at ~US$4,000/tonne, while local manufacturers pay higher prices for aluminium billet, making it hard for recyclers to compete.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation–UAE collaboration will advance the country’s circular economy goals, cutting waste, boosting recycling, and building sustainable industries across sectors.

Sorting bins at Petra are expected to cut landfill waste from the site and create opportunities for local recyclers to process the collected materials.

India’s expanding e-waste stream and Japan’s advanced recycling technologies make for a natural partnership in recovering valuable materials from discarded devices.
