Metlen Energy & Metals, a Greek industrial group, is set to launch a project in Kazakhstan aimed at processing metallurgical waste to extract valuable metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, and cobalt. This initiative was discussed during a meeting between Ardak Zebeshev, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and a delegation from the company.
The project aligns with the Kazakh government’s priorities regarding the recycling of industrial waste, resource efficiency, and the development of high-value-added manufacturing. Zebeshev expressed the ministry’s readiness to support the project’s advancement and facilitate collaboration with relevant ministries, local authorities, and Kazakh companies. The move is seen as a significant step towards enhancing Kazakhstan’s industrial capabilities and promoting sustainable practices within the mining sector, reflecting a growing trend towards resource recovery and waste management in the region.
