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.

Actively introduce leading enterprises in the domestic and overseas hydrogen energy industry, cultivate local hydrogen energy industry enterprises, promote the clustered development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the hydrogen energy industry, and form a complete industry chain. 3. Strengthen technological innovation to enhance core competitiveness. Strengthen cooperation with universities, research institutes, and other institutions, accelerate the transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, and establish a sound system for the transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements in the hydrogen energy field. Encourage and support enterprises within the park to increase R&D investment and carry out research on key core technologies in the hydrogen energy industry. 4. Build a strong talent team to ensure sustained work efforts. It is suggested to leverage the strength of the municipal science and technology town mayor team, relevant universities such as Yangzhou University and Yangzhou Polytechnic College, as well as the Shenzhen Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Association, to expand diversified and efficient talent introduction channels through flexible introduction, project-based introduction, and special funding introduction. Support local enterprises in carrying out various forms of talent introduction and cooperation to provide more talent support for industrial development. 5. Promote industrial clustering and establish industry demonstration capabilities. Build an aggregation zone centered around the China Automotive Technology & Research Center (CATARC), leveraging local resource endowments. Actively enter and seize application markets in various fields, and flexibly establish a hydrogen energy ecosystem application cooperation model. Accelerate the expansion of application scenarios and promote the market-oriented development of the hydrogen energy industry. Actively explore application scenarios for hydrogen energy in transportation, energy, industrial, and other fields to drive the market-oriented development of the hydrogen energy industry. Build hydrogen energy demonstration projects to showcase the advantages and potential of hydrogen energy technology, and enhance public awareness and acceptance of the hydrogen energy industry.

[Many "Firsts" in Jiangxi] The first aircraft, the first diesel-wheeled tractor, the first military sidecar motorcycle, the first coastal defense missile, the first artificial satellite of New China, and even the current C919 large passenger aircraft were all born here. [Industrial Advantages] The non-ferrous metal industry is the largest pillar industry in Jiangxi Province. The new connotations of the "dual controls" on energy consumption, the "dual carbon" goals, and high-quality development have set new requirements for the expansion and strengthening of the non-ferrous metal industry. Promoting the further healthy, rapid, and orderly development of the non-ferrous metal industry and enhancing its core competitiveness are inevitable requirements for transforming Jiangxi from a major province of non-ferrous metal resources into a strong province of the non-ferrous metal industry. It is also a crucial measure to facilitate Jiangxi's achievement of carbon peaking by 2030. Relying on Jiangxi Province's abundant non-ferrous mineral resources, the non-ferrous metal industry in Jiangxi has developed rapidly, with its scale continuously expanding and its level steadily improving. It has become the largest pillar industry in Jiangxi, currently a key "trillion-yuan" industry being cultivated in the province, and an undeniable "anchor" of Jiangxi's manufacturing sector. Jiangxi has become an important mining and production site for non-ferrous metals in China. Jiangxi Province boasts superior ore-forming geological conditions and abundant mineral resources, making it one of China's important bases for non-ferrous, rare, rare earth, and uranium minerals, with a relatively high degree of mineral resource complementarity. Jiangxi's seven major types of minerals—copper, tungsten, rare earths, uranium, tantalum-niobium, gold, and silver—are known as the "Seven Golden Flowers." According to Jiangxi Province's "2+6+N" action plan for high-quality and leapfrog development of industries, the province's main business income from the non-ferrous metal industry is expected to reach the trillion-yuan level. To promote the healthy development of Jiangxi Province's non-ferrous metal industry, facilitate foreign economic and trade cooperation, and guide the integration of Jiangxi's non-ferrous metal industry with international standards, the organizing committee, after conducting in-depth market and project analysis surveys at the grassroots level multiple times with government authorities and industry associations, has decided to hold the "2025 China (Jiangxi) International Non-Ferrous Metals and Metallurgical Industry Exhibition" at the Nanchang Greenland International Expo Center from November 23-25, 2025.

Driven by the dual goals of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" and resource scarcity, the global circular economy is thriving. Africa, with its abundant primary mineral reserves and potential for secondary metals, has emerged as a crucial link in the global metal industry chain. Relevant data shows that Africa accounts for 15% and 8% of global copper and aluminum ore reserves, respectively. Countries such as the DRC and Zambia consistently rank among the top copper producers globally, providing ample raw materials for the secondary metals industry. Meanwhile, in recent years, African countries have taken proactive measures. The DRC revised its Mining Code, significantly streamlining the foreign investment approval process, reducing the approval time from months to weeks, and attracting substantial Chinese and European capital to establish secondary metal processing plants. South Africa launched the "Green Minerals Initiative," offering tax incentives of up to 30% for secondary metal enterprises, encouraging them to expand capacity and upgrade technology. Furthermore, technological innovation is key to the transformation and upgrading of Africa's secondary copper and aluminum industries. Advanced technologies such as digital mines and automated sorting equipment are rapidly gaining popularity in Africa, significantly enhancing production efficiency and resource recovery rates. As a front-runner in PV deployment, Africa saw a 25% YoY increase in new installations in 2023, driving an annual increase of 150,000 mt in demand for secondary copper. Overall, the combination of Africa's resource endowments, policies, and technologies is injecting strong momentum into the thriving development of the secondary metals industry, making this golden land highly promising in the future wave of green development. In this context, from June 12-13, 2025, SMM will host the 2025 SMM 2nd Global Secondary Metal Industry Chain Summit Forum in Thailand, inviting Yousef Al Sharif, Manager of Sharif Metals Group, to participate in a keynote speech on the theme of "Exploring Africa: Opportunities for Sustainable Expansion and Raw Material Investment," prospectively exploring new opportunities for the development of Africa's secondary metal industry from key elements such as industrial foundations and policy support, technological innovation and industrial development advantages, as well as market demand boost and investment cases.
