6 Days to the Conference Conference Name: 2025 SMM 2nd Global Secondary Metals Industry Summit Date: 2025.06.12-13 Venue: Hyatt Regency Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Thailand Industry leaders including Japan Kosei Industries, SVOLT Energy Technology, Thailand Ministry of Industry, MNMA, Material Recycling Association of India, JCC International, Ruiyi Resources & Environment, and Yixin International will gather to explore new trends, technologies, and policies in the secondary metals industry! Against the backdrop of global cooperation to address climate change, green and low-carbon collaboration has become an inevitable choice for the international community. In recent years, China has introduced policies encouraging secondary metals enterprises to "go global," with an increasingly improved market environment accelerating domestic companies' global expansion and active exploration of overseas markets. The "go global era" has become an indispensable force in promoting the green, low-carbon, and international development of China's nonferrous metals industry. With the introduction of favorable policies such as the Carbon Peaking Implementation Plan for the Nonferrous Metals Industry, the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Raw Materials Industry, the Carbon Peaking Implementation Plan for the Industrial Sector, and the Measures to Promote Stable Growth of Foreign Trade, secondary metals enterprises have emerged under a model involving overseas resource recycling, processing into standardized secondary metal raw materials for import to China, and direct service to local downstream users, achieving continuous breakthroughs. Chinese secondary metals enterprises, riding the policy momentum, are accelerating overseas expansion, bringing new capacity, employment, and tax revenue to host countries. Hundreds of companies have acquired scrap yards or established sorting bases in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Japan and South Korea. Due to their wide application in automotive, home appliance, telecommunications, construction, and aerospace sectors, these enterprises are becoming practitioners of the dual-circulation development path integrating domestic and overseas markets. Industry sources revealed that China's secondary nonferrous metals production reached 19.15 million mt in 2024, ranking first globally for 15 consecutive years. The physical content of imported secondary copper and aluminum raw materials exceeded 4 million mt, accounting for 23% of total raw material supply, down 1.7 percentage points from 2023. A supply structure has largely formed, dominated by domestic recycling with imports as a key supplement. For instance, the number of countries and regions exporting secondary aluminum raw materials to China increased to 95 (up by 6 from 2023), with 22 (up by 4) exceeding 10,000 mt. According to industry forecasts, China's recycled metal industry is expected to exceed 500 billion yuan by 2025 and reach a trillion-yuan market by 2030, with an annual compound growth rate exceeding 15%. Meanwhile, with the recovery of the global economy and the rise of emerging markets, regional recycled metal markets exhibit unique development trends. India , leveraging its vast population and rapid industrialization, demonstrates strong market demand, yet faces constraints in sustainable development due to an incomplete recycling system, lack of quality control, and high energy costs. The Middle East , benefiting from its strategic location and abundant resources, has become a key hub for global recycled metal trade. However, challenges such as heavy reliance on external demand, geopolitical tensions, and lagging local recycling technologies significantly hinder innovation and competitiveness. Europe , with its robust environmental regulations and advanced technology, leads in high-quality recycled metal development. Nevertheless, it struggles with high recycling costs, raw material shortages, import dependence, and inconsistent recycling standards among member states. Southeast Asia , driven by manufacturing growth and favorable policies, continues to unlock market potential but faces obstacles like insufficient capacity, compliance risks, and regional trade barriers. Thus, a thorough analysis of these regional markets' strengths and challenges not only helps industry players grasp global dynamics but also provides strategic insights for business planning. In this context, SMM will host the 2025 SMM 2nd Global Recycled Metal Industry Chain Summit in Thailand on June 12-13, 2025. The summit will convene associations, top-tier enterprises, research institutions, experts, and policymakers through three forums , focusing on key topics such as global recycled metal industry trends and challenges, interviews with top-tier recycled metal entrepreneurs, and changes in the global recycled metal supply-demand pattern . Discussions will include interpretations of global recycled metal trade policies , exploring new trends, technologies, and policies in the industry. A dedicated 1-on-1 meeting system will facilitate business negotiations, creating an international platform for collaboration, resource sharing, and innovation. The event will also feature high-quality scrap yard resource matchmaking, an industry awards banquet, and face-to-face exchanges with industry leaders , contributing to the development of a global resource recycling system and advancing the transition to a green economy.

Developing green and low-carbon transportation is an important measure for the transportation industry to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, serve the national goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and thoroughly win the critical battle of pollution prevention and control. With the rapid development of proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, fuel cell technology has begun demonstration applications in the automotive sector. In particular, fuel cell industrial vehicles have gradually entered the commercialization stage in European and US countries, and large-scale development is expected to occur soon. In the field of rail transit, China's research on fuel cell rail transit started relatively early, and its technological level is on par with that of developed countries such as Japan, Germany, and the UK. However, the lack of national or industry standards and specifications in the field of fuel cell rail transit is one of the important reasons for its inability to be applied and promoted on a large scale. CRRC Industrial Research Institute Co., Ltd., CRRC Tangshan Co., Ltd., Tongji University, CRRC Science and Technology Innovation (Beijing) Co., Ltd., CRRC Qishuyan Locomotive Co., Ltd., and CRRC Qingdao Sifang Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., among other entities, conducted a survey on safety requirements, technical requirements, test methods, type inspections, etc., by collecting existing engineering application experiences, relevant research findings, test and detection results, and feedback from users. They gathered relevant technical data, determined the direction for standard formulation, and drafted and formulated the "Technical Conditions for On-board Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Generation Systems in Rail Transit." On May 28, 2025, the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Communications and Transportation Association organized a review meeting in Beijing for the draft of the group standard "Technical Conditions for On-board Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Generation Systems in Rail Transit" (for public comments). The New Technology Promotion Branch, as the proposing entity of the standard, undertook the comprehensive service work for this meeting. Li Haichuan, former Deputy Chief Engineer of China Academy of Railway Sciences (Beijing) Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. and member of the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Communications and Transportation Association; Wang Jijian, former Deputy Chief Engineer of China Railway Engineering Design and Consulting Group Co., Ltd. and member of the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Communications and Transportation Association; Zhang Wentao, Senior Engineer of the China Academy of Transportation Sciences under the Ministry of Transport and member of the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Communications and Transportation Association; Li Ming, Deputy Director of the Product R&D Center of CRRC Digital Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd.; and Wang Shuofeng, Associate Professor of Beijing University of Technology, attended the meeting as review experts. Zhang Bo, Senior Engineer, Gao Yanan, Engineer, and Zhao Jinhai, Engineer, from CRRC Industrial Research Institute Co., Ltd., and Wang Yanrong, Senior Engineer, from CRRC Tangshan Co., Ltd., attended the meeting as representatives of the drafting group. In accordance with the procedures and requirements of the meeting agenda, the host first introduced the participants, announced the list of review group experts, and confirmed the leader of the review group. Subsequently, the drafting group presented the main content, formulation status, and the results of the survey, analysis, and demonstration of the draft for public comments. The expert group reviewed the standard content item by item, and finally, after inquiries, meeting minutes were formed and read out. Introduction to the Group Standard "Technical Specifications for On-board Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Generation Systems in Rail Transit": The Group Standard "Technical Specifications for On-board Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Generation Systems in Rail Transit" stipulates the terms and definitions, system composition, environmental conditions, safety requirements, technical requirements, test methods, test rules, as well as aspects related to marking, packaging, transportation, and storage of on-board hydrogen fuel cell power generation systems for rail transit. It is applicable to the R&D design and testing of on-board proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cell systems for rail transit that use hydrogen and air as reactants. The formulation of this standard is conducive to enhancing the quality and technological level of fuel cell systems for rail transit in China, breaking down and reducing technical barriers. It supports the vigorous development of fuel cell-powered rail transit in China, facilitates technological transformation in rail transit concerning energy conservation, carbon reduction, pollution prevention and control, ecological and environmental protection and restoration, and resource conservation and intensive utilization. It provides strong support for promoting the harmonious development of transportation and nature and accelerating the construction of a transportation powerhouse. Since the Subcommittee for the Promotion of New Technologies initiated the work on group standards in April 2021, it has initiated over 230 projects for the establishment of group standards, published over 70 standards, and solicited over 200 adopting units for group standards. It has organized over 40 standard release and promotion conferences. These standards cover comprehensive transportation fields such as railway, highway, civil aviation, and urban passenger transport management, involving multiple professional technologies including bridges, roads, tunnels, integrated transportation, and rail transit.
