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 acceleration of industrialization, the demand for metal resources continues to grow. Secondary metals, as a green, environmentally friendly, and economically viable resource alternative, have become a global focus. In recent years, Southeast Asia has emerged as a significant hub for the collection and processing of global secondary resources. Simultaneously, with the deepening international layout of industries such as NEVs, secondary copper and aluminum processing enterprises, as well as battery industry players, have chosen to establish factories in countries like Thailand to expand overseas resources and enhance global competitiveness. Thailand, as a key economy in Southeast Asia, boasts a mature resource recycling system and a superior geographical location, providing convenient conditions for regional collaboration and international trade in the secondary metal industry. It has now developed into a global base for the recycling, sorting, and reprocessing of secondary metals such as secondary aluminum and secondary copper, annually supplying substantial secondary metal resources to China and other countries. Additionally, Thailand's booming manufacturing sector, with its expanding automotive and electronics industries, provides strong demand support for the secondary metal resource industry. On June 24-25, 2024, the first SMM Global Secondary Metal Industry Forum was held in Malaysia. The conference brought together recycling associations, government officials, and renowned secondary metal enterprises to discuss the current status and future development of the industry.

In the upcoming year of 2025, we anticipate that the global economy will face a series of complex and volatile challenges. With the US presidential election concluded, the uncertainty of global trade policies is expected to further increase, presenting new issues for international trade cooperation. In the realm of geopolitics, ongoing conflicts and tensions show no significant signs of easing, posing threats not only to global security but also significantly impacting resource allocation and industrial layout. Against this macro backdrop, industrial transfer and supply chain restructuring have become key topics that we must closely monitor. At the industrial level, the trend of protectionism in mineral resources is on the rise, directly affecting the stability of global copper concentrate TCs. With the rapid expansion of global smelting capacity, the profit margins of copper smelters are further compressed, and the challenges faced by the industry are becoming increasingly severe. In the field of secondary copper raw materials, the advancement of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and the "dual carbon" goals have significantly increased market attention to secondary copper. However, the "reverse invoicing" policy implemented in 2024 and the "Fair Competition Regulations" have had a profound impact on the secondary copper industry. Looking ahead to 2025, the changes in the landscape of the secondary copper industry will have a critical impact on the entire copper industry chain. Additionally, with the cancellation of tax subsidies and other incentive measures, the space for copper cathode trade is expected to further narrow. We anticipate that the procurement ratio of copper processing materials between traders and smelters will show a more pronounced differentiation. In this context, the meticulously prepared " CCIE 2025SMM (20th) Copper Industry Conference and Copper Industry Expo " will be grandly held in Nanchang, Jiangxi from April 22-25, 2025.

The circular economy brings a fresh take on handling resources. It aims to shrink waste and stretch the reuse of materials. For aluminum, this approach packs a punch because the metal can be reused forever without wearing out. Old linear ways focused on grabbing resources, crafting products, and dumping them. In contrast, the circular economy pushes to keep stuff in use as long as possible. This path fosters greener habits by cutting the need to yank raw materials from the ground and easing harm to nature.

Oxygen-free crushing and pyrolysis: Under the protection of nitrogen, the lithium battery is crushed into sheet materials through a closed feeder, shredder, and crusher. The crushed materials are then sent to the oxygen-free pyrolysis furnace by a screw conveyor, where the electrolyte, separator paper, and binder are pyrolyzed. The pyrolysis gas is burned in a secondary combustion chamber, and the high-temperature gas is used to heat the pyrolysis furnace, achieving energy-saving purposes. This set of equipment can achieve oxygen-free crushing and pyrolysis, with an oxygen content of about 2% during production, and can handle cylindrical, prismatic, pouch, and blade live lithium batteries. Crushing and sorting: The pyrolyzed materials are sorted by a crusher, air separator, magnetic separator, color sorter, grinder, classifier, and copper-aluminum separator to separate the shell, positive and negative electrode powder, copper particles, and aluminum particles. All materials can reach a salable state without mixed materials. The lithium battery live crushing equipment developed by Haoyi Technology: 1.
