Sparta Group, a Canadian green energy and environmental services firm, is expanding its Environmental division into the Middle East through its e-waste recycling company, ERS-International to come up in Oman, according to reports. 

The facility will be opened in Salalah, the capital city of southern Oman's Dhofar province, in Q1 2023.  

"We are very excited to be the first to process e-waste in Oman on an industrial scale. Advanced electronics recycling is desperately needed around the globe and we're confident that we will be able to start with processing at least five hundred thousand (500,000) pounds in Oman, in our first year of operation. We expect to double up each subsequent year," said Sparta President, John O'Bireck. 

The Oman recycling facility is similar in size to the Canadian plant is at one hundred thousand square feet of workspace. The new plant will be outfitted with ultramodern technology that will be operated under strict policies to ensure privacy for customers and efficiency throughout the processing of waste. Digitised pick-up is being worked into the recycling system. Customers simply open an App to request service.
