Against the backdrop of accelerated global advancement in the circular economy, the recycling industry is expanding from mere resource recycling to diversified value. As a renowned information service platform for China’s non-ferrous metals sector, Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) has long focused on the recycling segment, building a comprehensive service ecosystem for renewable resource recycling that encompasses data, news, price benchmarks, industry conferences and supply-demand matchmaking. The annual Battery Recycling and Circular Industry Conference (GBRC) organized by SMM has grown into one of China’s largest and most influential industry events in the renewable resources sector. Meanwhile in Brazil, across the ocean, a non-profit organization is interpreting the social value of recycling in an alternative way: repurposing scrap materials into tools for robotics education to open the door to the digital world for children in public schools. Founded in 2016, Sementes do Vale is a non-profit organization dedicated to sports, culture, education, technology, vocational training and social psychological support. Its flagship initiative, the e-Ducar (Educational Robotics with Scrap Materials) , centers on the dual pillars of "recycling plus education" and reduces educational inequality by democratizing access to digital education for students and public schools through educational robotics, computational thinking for understanding Artificial Intelligence, and STEAM methodology. To date, the programme has served 38 public schools across 7 cities in 2 Brazilian states, trained 164 teachers, and directly benefited 4,331 students. More importantly, it is not a one-off workshop, but rather a path designed so robotics enters the school and stays there, even after we leave. How It Works Four Steps, One Complete Ecosystem E-Ducar project 's core competitiveness lies in its design of a fully integrated implementation pathway that covers everything from teacher training to teaching materials, from hardware to curriculum standards, ensuring that schools can independently conduct robotics courses even after the project withdraws. Step-1: Teacher Training The heart of the project. Free in-person training for public-school educators: robotics fundamentals, block-based programming, computational thinking, and how to integrate everything into the school curriculum. Step-2: Materials and Video Lessons Each teacher leaves with a complete pedagogical kit: ready-to-use lesson plans, an e-book, hands-on activities with scrap materials, and video lessons on YouTube. Everything is open, free, and permanently available. Step-3: Free robotics kits Each partner school or education department receives robotics kits to use in classes with its students. Step-4: Aligned with Brazil's national curriculum Digital education became mandatory by law in Brazilian schools, and the project materials were structured to support this adaptation through educational robotics, computational thinking, and STEAM methodology. Robotics Is a Right, Not a Privilege for the Few Robotics is a right, but it reaches very few. Even with Law No. 14,533/2023 guaranteeing the right to digital education, most Brazilian public schools have never offered a robotics class. e-Ducar was born to change that statistic, one classroom at a time. From the perspective of the recycling industry, this also represents a deep extension of circular economy principles into society: at the industrial end, scrap metals and waste electronic components re-enter the industry chain through regenerated smelting, while in the education sector, they can similarly be creatively reassembled into tools for inspiring the next generation’s interest in technology. Just as SMM has long advocated the concept of "full life cycle resource circulation," the value of recycling is reflected not only in metal recovery rates and economic benefits but also in the long-term value of sustainable development. Support the Project If you are an educator, school leader, education department, or company that wants to support us, let's talk. Robotics from the Sertão can be where you are. Building Communication Platform Between China and the World: SMM Supports Global Circular Science Education Public Welfare As a professional information service platform serving the global renewable resources and battery recycling sectors, SMM has long dedicated itself to research on recycled metals and lithium battery recycling as well as building platforms for industrial supply and demand exchange. Beyond these core businesses, SMM has consistently incorporated sustainable public welfare initiatives into its long-term corporate social responsibility strategy. SMM will continue to monitor non-profit organizations worldwide that deliver inclusive science and technology education using recycled materials. The e-Ducar programme stands out as an exemplary social innovation that SMM supports. Backing non-profit organizations such as Sementes do Vale to advance the e-Ducar initiative not only fosters inclusive education and mitigates educational inequality across Latin America, but also serves as an effective channel for the industry to popularize circular economy knowledge and disseminate sustainable development concepts. Moving forward, SMM will keep building communication platforms between industrial players from China and overseas non-profit organizations, encouraging more recycling enterprises to participate in cross-border science and education support programmes. By leveraging industrial expertise to empower equitable sustainable education globally, SMM will fully implement integrated ESG practices that deliver environmental benefits, social value and long-term development.

With the rapid development of space technology and commercial spaceflight, space PV, as the core energy source for spacecraft, is becoming a key technology supporting strategic missions such as space exploration, satellite communications, and space solar power stations. Meanwhile, the expansion of emerging scenarios like the low-altitude economy and high-altitude drones is imposing higher demands for high efficiency, light weight, and high reliability of PV systems in extreme environments, driving the extension of space PV toward integrated aerospace applications. As a frontier field of deep integration between PV and aerospace, space PV is an important direction for China to seize the strategic high ground in energy and expand new spaces for PV applications. Developing lower-cost space PV technology to support the future large-scale development of the space PV market requires pooling resources from PV, aerospace, satellite, and other sectors to advance collaboratively. To this end, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) plans to openly solicit experts from across society to jointly carry out policy research, technical breakthroughs, and standard development for the space PV industry.

On July 15, at the , hosted by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. and Shandong Aisi Information Technology Co., Ltd., co-organized by Guangxi Dasheng Power Equipment Co., Ltd., and strongly supported by Solarabic, a Middle Eastern new energy industry media, and the Guangdong Province Industrial and Trade Development Promotion Association, Shenzhen Bendakang Cable Co., Ltd. Chairman Hou Shaofan shared insights on “Copper Spot and Futures Price Fluctuations and the Status Quo of the Wire and Cable Industry”. Macro Insights: Global and Regional Copper Consumption Patterns 2026 Global and China Copper Consumption Overview ► Global copper cathode consumption grows mildly, supply-demand pattern tightens Global copper cathode consumption is expected to reach around 25 million mt in 2026, up 1.6% YoY. NEVs, PV and wind power, and AI computing centers become core drivers. The market will see a supply deficit, with ore supply tightness persisting. ► China's copper consumption leads the globe, driven by emerging fields China accounts for half of global copper consumption. Its apparent consumption is set to exceed 13 million mt in 2026, up around 2% YoY, leading the world. Power grid investment, new energy, and AI data centers are the core drivers. Demand in emerging sectors is robust, while growth in traditional sectors is slowing down. South China: A Growth Pole Driven by Export-Oriented and Emerging Momentum South China, especially Guangdong Province, as one of the core engines of China's manufacturing, exhibits a distinct "export-oriented" and "emerging momentum-driven" copper consumption structure. It closely relies on downstream industries such as electronic information and NEVs, with a notable export orientation, making it a key growth pole for domestic copper consumption. Regional Pattern: An Analysis of the Industrial Gap Between South China and East China North-South Industrial Divergence: Five Core Gaps Between South China and East China's Wire and Cable Industries ► In-depth Analysis of Regional Industrial Development Models and Core Competitiveness From five dimensions – enterprise structure, risk management, industry chain support, client resources, and industry ecosystem – the current development status of the wire and cable industries in the two regions is compared, revealing the underlying logic and development pain points behind the industrial divergence. Industry Growing Pains: In-depth Analysis of Three Core Pain Points Pain Point 1: Party A's "Imposed Terms" – Imbalanced Bargaining Power 01 Excessively long payment cycles; 02 "Back-to-back" payment terms shifting risk; 03 High security deposits squeezing capital; 04 Fixed prices disregarding cost fluctuations. Pain Point 2: Wild Swings in Copper Prices – The Risk of "High-Cost In, Low-Price Out" Losses 01 Two-way risk: both sharp rises and falls put pressure on; 02 Transmission lag: the core crux of losses; 03 Breakthrough solution: using financial instruments to build a solid defense. Pain Point Three: Industry Price Involution — the Meager Profit Dilemma of Being "Cheaper than Vermicelli" ►01 Fierce Price War: Survival Struggle in the Quagmire of Meager Profits The industry presents a pattern of “big industry, small enterprises,” with CR10 below 12%, over 90% being small and medium-sized enterprises, and the market highly fragmented. The price war in the low and mid-end cable sector is intensifying, even giving rise to the industry joke of being “cheaper than vermicelli,” directly resulting in the industry’s average net profit margin falling below 3%. Small and medium-sized enterprises are trapped in a survival dilemma with meager profits, or even negative profits. ►02 Vicious Cycle: The Industry Paradox of Bad Money Driving Out Good Low-price competition forces some enterprises to cut corners, causing product quality and safety risks. More seriously, substandard cable products directly threaten public property safety and even pose significant risks to the lives of the public. Entrepreneurs (this great group of people) who originally immersed themselves in industry with a craftsman’s spirit and aspired to contribute to social and economic development, once they breach the quality bottom line in the low-price involution, not only harm users and society but ultimately violate the law, end up imprisoned, and cause an irreparable tragedy. Meager profits prevent enterprises from investing in R&D and innovation, trapping them in a vicious cycle of “low price—low quality—even lower profits.” Meanwhile, the industry’s low-end capacity is severely surplus, while the high-end market has long been dominated by foreign brands, with technical barriers difficult to overcome. Future Outlook: Industry Chain Synergy and Development Trends Grasp the Industry Pulse · Co-Build a Synergistic Ecosystem · Open a New Chapter of Cooperation Based on the new stage of industrial development, we start from three dimensions—trend analysis, synergistic co-construction, and cooperation opportunities—to analyze the future direction of the copper wire and cable industry. The aim is to build industry consensus, promote deep integration of the upstream and downstream, and through institutional innovation and resource integration, build a safe, stable, and win-win new pattern of industrial development. 01 Industry Trends: Growth and Standardization Demand side benefits from the dual drivers of new energy and new infrastructure, with market growth continuously released; risk control side sees derivative tools becoming standard, with bare position models gradually phased out; the industry landscape is accelerating toward concentration among large-scale, compliant leading enterprises, with the Matthew effect prominent. 02 Synergy Initiatives: Shared Responsibility and Joint Governance We advocate for the industry-wide adoption of a copper price-linked adjustment mechanism to share price fluctuation risks; collaborate with financial institutions to promote the “option hedging + performance guarantee” model to build operational defenses; establish an industry alliance to unify pricing floors, resist low-price involution, and share risk control and market resources. 03 Cooperation Invitation: Openness and Win-Win Provide stable batch supply of national standard cables for PV, power grid, and new energy supporting applications; connect with professional institutions to offer copper option price insurance consulting and financial guarantee services; sincerely invite copper enterprises, financial institutions, and EPC contractors to engage in long-term strategic joint ventures to jointly create industry value. In addition, they shared the breakthrough path: Bendakang practical cases and solutions from such perspectives as Bendakang Cable—from scale leadership to value guidance; financial innovation practice: the "option price protection" policy, empowering industry chain win-win; practical reference: Bendakang's combined strategy of "option price protection + performance bond"; innovation engine: a high-end and intelligent product matrix; smart manufacturing upgrade: digitally driven lean production practice, etc.

Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued "Several Policy Measures to Support Green and Low-Carbon Development in Sichuan Province" (Chuan Fa Gai Huan Zi [2026] No. 236), launching 14 special measures across three dimensions. Through fiscal subsidies, financial empowerment, and factor guarantees, it promotes the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of the province's economy and society, with a focus on providing clear financial support standards for green projects related to hydrogen energy, including renewable energy hydrogen production and new-type energy storage . The new policy focuses on the pain points and needs of green and low-carbon industry development, constructing a comprehensive support system of "fiscal investment + financial support + factor security." It covers multiple core areas such as hydrogen energy storage, energy saving and carbon reduction, clean coal utilization, infrastructure renovation, green finance, scientific and technological breakthroughs, and land and energy use guarantees. Many subsidy policies are clear in intensity and highly implementable, providing solid policy support for the high-quality development of Sichuan's green and low-carbon advantage industries. In terms of fiscal fund support, Sichuan has launched seven categories of special subsidy policies for projects, with differentiated subsidy ratios and caps. Among them, for renewable energy hydrogen production and hydrogen energy application projects, as well as independent new-type energy storage projects with advanced technology routes such as hundred-megawatt-level vanadium flow batteries, compressed air energy storage, and solid-state batteries with a capacity of 10 MW or above, provincial budgetary infrastructure investment will provide financial subsidies at a rate of no more than 15% of the total project investment , with a maximum subsidy of 20 million yuan per project . Meanwhile, projects for energy-saving, carbon-reducing, and efficiency improvement transformations, as well as energy-saving, efficiency improvement, and clean renovation of existing coal-fired power units, will simultaneously apply the 15% investment subsidy rate and the cap of 20 million yuan per project. Projects related to clean coal utilization, coalbed methane extraction, and waste heat and pressure utilization have greater support, with subsidy ratios up to 30% of total project investment, and the same maximum subsidy of 20 million yuan per project. For people's livelihood and supporting green infrastructure, the new policy specifies differentiated subsidy rules for charging infrastructure: new charging projects will be subsidized up to 40% of total investment, and renovation projects up to 50% of additional investment, with a maximum of 1 million yuan per project. Additionally, existing building energy-saving renovation projects over 1,000 m² that pass inspection can receive a maximum of 500,000 yuan in green building materials application incentives; qualified "Tianfu Lvhui" renewable resource recycling trading venues can receive up to 5 million yuan in special incentive funds. In the financial support sector, Sichuan focuses on 10 key transformation industries, including steel, coal power, building materials, and petrochemicals, guiding financial institutions to customize green and low-carbon transformation financial products, and encouraging local implementation of fiscal interest subsidy policies. For environmental protection projects such as sewage treatment, ecological restoration, and EOD initiatives, provincial finance provides interest subsidies at 1.5% of the actual loan amount, with a maximum annual subsidy of 3 million yuan per project and a subsidy period of up to 3 years. These are complemented by targeted interest subsidies for equipment upgrades and reward and subsidy policies for green bond underwriting — enterprises can receive additional provincial interest subsidies for equipment upgrade loans, capped at 5 million yuan per enterprise per year, while financial institutions underwriting green bonds can receive rewards and subsidies equal to 0.1% of the annual underwriting amount, with a maximum of 2 million yuan per institution. In terms of factor support, the new policy strengthens all-round support in science and technology, land use, and energy use. Provincial finance has established major science and technology special projects for environmental governance, with maximum support of 20 million yuan per project. All localities are required to reserve no less than 1% of industrial land for the construction of resource recycling facilities, and for high-quality energy conservation and environmental protection projects, land supply methods are optimized and land transfer reserve prices are reduced. Energy conservation review rules are optimized — except for "two-high" projects, fixed-asset investment projects that meet industry energy efficiency benchmark levels are exempt from energy consumption replacement requirements, and "two-high" technological transformation projects that have completed carbon emission replacement do not need to undergo another round of energy consumption replacement, significantly streamlining the approval process for high-quality green projects. It is reported that the policies released this time will subsequently have their detailed implementation rules refined by each responsible department, and will be carried out in accordance with current and effective management regulations, continuously strengthening the industrial foundation for Sichuan's green and low-carbon development and supporting the high-quality growth of the province's ecological economy.
