Since the global consensus on green and low-carbon development was reached, the strategic position of the secondary metal industry has become increasingly prominent. With the accelerated advancement of industrialization, the demand for metal resources has continued to grow. As a green, environmentally friendly, and economically viable alternative resource, secondary metals have become a global focus. In recent years, Southeast Asia has emerged as a significant global hub for the distribution and processing of secondary resources. Meanwhile, with the deepening internationalization of industries such as NEVs, processing enterprises in the secondary copper, secondary aluminum, and battery sectors at the material end have chosen to establish factories in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand to expand overseas resources and enhance global competitiveness. Thailand, as a major economy in Southeast Asia, boasts a relatively mature resource recycling system and a favorable geographical location, providing convenient conditions for regional collaboration and international trade in the secondary metal industry. It has now developed into a global industrial base for the recycling, sorting, and reprocessing of secondary metals such as secondary aluminum and secondary copper, annually exporting substantial amounts of secondary metal resources to China and other countries. Additionally, Thailand's manufacturing sector is thriving, with annual expansions in areas such as automotive manufacturing and electronics and electrical appliances, providing strong demand support for the secondary metal resource industry. From June 24-25, 2024, the 1st SMM Global Secondary Metal Industry Forum was held in Malaysia. The event brought together recycling associations, government officials, and renowned enterprises from various regions to discuss the current state and future development of the secondary metal industry. From 2024 to 2025, with the continuous updating of secondary metal policies and the rapid development of the industry, SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. plans to hold the 2025 SMM 2nd Global Secondary Metal Industry Chain Summit Forum in Thailand from June 12-13, 2025, to assist enterprises in navigating the changes in the secondary metal industry, comply with industry standardization requirements, and provide a platform for business exchanges. The summit aims to gather associations, leading enterprises, research institutions, industry experts, and policymakers from the global secondary metal sector to jointly explore new trends, technologies, and policies in the development of the secondary metal industry. It will establish an international platform for exchanges, cooperation, resource sharing, and collaborative innovation, contributing to the construction and improvement of the global resource recycling system and the realization of a global green economic transition. At this year's conference, Xuzhou Siyuan Aluminum Co., Ltd. will make a grand appearance. Along with upstream and downstream colleagues in the secondary metal industry, they will engage in in-depth discussions on the pain points and challenges facing the industry, jointly explore business opportunities for win-win cooperation, and discuss ways to promote high-quality development in the industry.
