High-value waste recycling projects
The article discusses the lucrative investment opportunities in the waste recycling sector in Saudi Arabia, where waste shifts from being an environmental and economic burden to a potential source of revenue through collection, sorting, and processing of materials for reuse in production processes. The figures indicate that the Kingdom produces approximately 135.1 million tons of waste annually, distributed among agricultural activities, construction, and households, with a significant portion of organic waste (45.7%). The article highlights that investment in recycling projects varies greatly in terms of size and costs. For example, a metal recovery project in Jeddah requires an investment of between 15 and 20 million SAR, with an expected internal return of 20% to 30%. On the other hand, a waste treatment project in Riyadh demands around 1.44 billion SAR, with anticipated returns ranging from 8% to 10%. Revenue streams are derived from waste collection fees, treatment services, and the sale of products; however, the most critical factor is the continuous flow of raw materials and effective cost management. The success of these projects depends on obtaining licensing facilitation from "Mawan," controlling costs related to site and equipment, and ensuring a steady demand for the final products by establishing reliable buyers.
