Against the backdrop of global sustainable development, the recycled metal industry is gaining importance. As the conflict between resource shortages and growing demand intensifies, countries are increasing policy and technology investment in this sector to promote a green economy. Japan, as a key recycled resource hub in Asia, possesses advanced technologies (such as aluminum dross processing) and closed-loop recycling models, and plans to expand the scale of e-waste recycling. However, its domestic capacity to absorb secondary aluminum is limited, necessitating expansion into markets outside China; secondary copper capacity is also expanding simultaneously. Sino-US trade issues have also highlighted the necessity of supply chain stability. Against this backdrop, with the theme "Voice of Low Carbon, Global Resonance," the will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on May 11–12, 2026. At this conference, will participate as an attending company, with Chairman Javier Riba Mas and Asia Manager Jose Maria Lozoya Fontanals in attendance. Global sustainability highlights the importance of the recycled metal sector. With resource shortages intensifying, countries (notably Japan, Asia's recycling hub) are advancing tech and policies. Japan aims to expand e-waste recycling but needs markets outside China for secondary aluminum; secondary copper output is also growing. Sino-US trade tensions further emphasize supply chain stability. 2026 SMM (3rd) Global Renewable Metal Industry Chain Summit (Theme: Voice of Low Carbon, Global Resonance ) is scheduled for May 11–12, 2026 , in Tokyo, Japan . At this conference, RIBA FARRE will attend, with Chairman Javier Riba Mas and Asia Manager Jose Maria Lozoya Fontanals in attendance.

[SMM Steel] Japan has approved a circular economy strategy aimed at strengthening domestic supply of recycled metals and reducing reliance on imported raw materials. In the steel sector, the plan targets an increase of around 2 million mt/year in processing capacity for high-quality scrap used in low-emission “green steel” production. The move comes amid tightening global scrap supply and rising competition among major economies to secure both primary and secondary raw materials.

Shanxi Province recently issued the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Shanxi Province. The Outline proposes to focus on developing high-end products such as special steel, aluminum-magnesium lightweight structural components, and high-end copper alloy strips and sheets. The province is expected to advance exploration of bauxite, dolomite, iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, graphite ore, high-purity quartz, and helium, and enhance the supply security of strategic mineral resources. The plan also encourages the vigorous development of recycled metals and supports enterprises in establishing scrap recycling systems.
