Conference Background
Against the backdrop of the global push for sustainable development and resource recycling, the strategic position of the secondary metal industry has become increasingly prominent. Amid accelerated industrialization, the tension between the finite supply of metal resources and steadily rising demand has become ever more acute. As a green, eco-friendly, and economically viable alternative, secondary metals have emerged as a focal point of global attention.
The forum will comprehensively cover four core forums: Japan Recycling Market, Base Metal Recycling, Battery Recycling, and Renewable Resource Equipment, providing in-depth analysis of the dynamics and business opportunities in key markets such as Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Europe, and the United States.
In honor of the benchmark forces playing critical roles in the global recycled metal industry chain, the GRMI2026 Banquet will host a grand award ceremony to recognize "High-Quality Material Yards", "High-Quality Equipment Enterprises", "Trustworthy Traders", and "Global Leaders in the Recycling Industry".
This selection aims to identify outstanding suppliers, traders, equipment providers, and leaders in the recycled industry who demonstrate high credibility, strong innovation, and exceptional performance. By setting exemplary models, it seeks to inspire industry progress and continuous improvement. We expect this platform to effectively promote resource connectivity and deepen cooperation within the global recycled metal industry, jointly addressing development challenges and building a healthier, more sustainable, and mutually beneficial industrial ecosystem.
We sincerely invite industry peers to witness this moment of honor and work together to propel the global recycled metal industry to greater heights!
