Emirates Global Aluminium Starts USA Recycling Expansion

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has commenced production at the expanded Spectro Alloys aluminium recycling facility in Minnesota, USA.

The first phase of the expansion adds 55,000 tonnes of secondary billet production capacity. Ramp-up to full production is expected to be completed in early 2026.

With this expansion, EGA Spectro Alloys' total capacity rises to 165,000 tonnes per year of recycled aluminium ingots and billets. Metal from the expansion will be marketed under EGA’s recycled aluminium brand RevivAL.

The project brings EGA’s total global aluminium recycling capacity to 195,000 tonnes per year, including operations in the USA and Germany.

Separately, EGA is building the UAE’s largest aluminium recycling plant at Al Taweelah, with a planned capacity of 170,000 tonnes per year of billets. Production is expected to start in the first half of 2026.
