Qatar Steel has signed an agreement with QPMC to recycle construction and demolition metal.

On December 9, Qatar Steel signed an agreement with Qatar Primary Materials Company (QPMC) on the processing of ferrous materials extracted from construction and demolition waste at the Raudat Rashed site. The company aims to increase the supply of local raw materials, reduce dependence on imported scrap, and support Qatar's long-term goals of environmental and industrial diversification. The initiative also contributes to Qatar's National Vision for 2030 by promoting the practice of a closed-loop economy, reducing landfills, and strengthening the link between waste management and domestic steel production.

Raudat Rashed is Qatar's main recycling facility for construction and demolition waste. Operated by QPMC, it recycles large volumes of waste, where concrete, aggregates and metals are separated and prepared for reuse. Under the new agreement, QPMC will extract, sort and prepare scrap iron and steel from the facility. These recovered materials will then be delivered to Qatar Steel for smelting and processing into finished steel products for national infrastructure and construction projects.

The agreement marks a significant step towards improving sustainable steel production in Qatar by increasing the amount of processed raw materials and increasing the efficiency of industrial resources.
