Qatar Steel has signed a cooperation agreement with Qatar Primary Materials Company (QPMC) to recycle iron and steel recovered from construction and demolition waste at the Rawdat Rashed site. The partnership supports Qatar’s push toward a circular economy by converting reclaimed metals into reusable industrial inputs.
Under the agreement, QPMC will extract and sort steel from construction waste, which will then be sent to Qatar Steel for melting and reprocessing into finished products for future national projects. Qatar Steel said the initiative will reduce reliance on imported raw materials, strengthen local industrial supply chains, and promote sustainable resource use.
Both companies noted that the collaboration aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 by reducing waste, enhancing recycling practices, and fostering closer integration between industrial and operational sectors.
