Iraq Opens Copper Recycling Plant in Dhi Qar
Under the patronage of Minister of Industry and Minerals, Dr. Engineer Khaled Battal Al-Najm, the ministry's Development Advisor, Qaisar Ahmed Al-Hashimi, inaugurated a copper recycling plant in Dhi Qar's General Company for Electrical Industries.
This project, in partnership with a private Iraqi company, aims to produce 3,000 tons of copper rods annually. The facility will supply copper, essential for manufacturing cables and electrical wires, thereby reducing the need for imports, cutting costs, increasing productivity, and providing environmental benefits by recycling copper scrap.
In his opening speech, Al-Hashimi praised the Ministry of Industry and the General Company for Electrical Industries for their achievement. He highlighted the company's capabilities and expertise, which enable it to keep pace with global developments and support Iraq's electrical system.
Al-Hashimi emphasized the ministry's commitment to reviving and developing strategic industries and enhancing the competitiveness of local production as part of the government's program.
In a press conference, Al-Hashimi noted that this project is a result of the Mineral Investment Conference and the Industrial Partnerships Forum held last year. The plant will support the production of high-standard local cables and electrical wires, enhancing the capabilities of the General Company for Electrical Industries, known for its industrial specialization and robust national production.
