31 named firms across 6 scrap hubs — Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Jebel Ali Free Zone, RAK, Sharjah
The United Arab Emirates has active metals trading and recycling hubs. The country's free zones — Jebel Ali, Hamriyah, RAK, Fujairah, and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre — host metal trading clusters. Sharjah hosts a range of non-ferrous trade operators.
The country serves as a regional gateway, with material flowing in from the wider Gulf, the Levant, and East Africa, and outbound flows moving principally towards South Asia and the broader Asian market.
The Bureau of Middle East Recycling, based in Dubai, is the regional industry body and a member of the Bureau of International Recycling. UAE regulations under the Federal Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, together with the free-zone licensing regimes, govern the sector.
