Against the backdrop of global sustainable development, the recycled metal industry is gaining importance. As the conflict between resource shortages and growing demand intensifies, countries are increasing policy and technology investment in this sector to promote a green economy. Japan, as a key recycled resource hub in Asia, possesses advanced technologies (such as aluminum dross processing) and closed-loop recycling models, and plans to expand the scale of e-waste recycling. However, its domestic capacity to absorb secondary aluminum is limited, necessitating expansion into markets outside China; secondary copper capacity is also expanding simultaneously. Sino-US trade issues have also highlighted the necessity of supply chain stability.

Against this backdrop, with the theme "Voice of Low Carbon, Global Resonance," the will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on May 11–12, 2026.

At this conference, will participate as an attending company, with Chairman Javier Riba Mas and Asia Manager Jose Maria Lozoya Fontanals in attendance.

Global sustainability highlights the importance of the recycled metal sector. With resource shortages intensifying, countries (notably Japan, Asia's recycling hub) are advancing tech and policies. Japan aims to expand e-waste recycling but needs markets outside China for secondary aluminum; secondary copper output is also growing. Sino-US trade tensions further emphasize supply chain stability.

2026 SMM (3rd) Global Renewable Metal Industry Chain Summit (Theme: Voice of Low Carbon, Global Resonance) is scheduled for May 11–12, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan.

At this conference, RIBA FARRE will attend, with Chairman Javier Riba Mas and Asia Manager Jose Maria Lozoya Fontanals in attendance.

[SMM Aluminum Flash News] India Emerges as a Key Global Aluminum Hub Beyond China

India is rapidly strengthening its position as a major global aluminum hub, supported by abundant bauxite resources, expanding smelting capacity and strong domestic demand growth. As the world’s second-largest primary aluminum producer, India currently operates around 4.3 million tonnes of smelting capacity led by NALCO, Hindalco, Vedanta and BALCO. Domestic aluminum consumption has reached 4.5-5 million tonnes annually, driven by infrastructure, power transmission, transportation and renewable energy development. However, per capita aluminum consumption remains only 3.4 kg, significantly below the global average, indicating substantial long-term growth potential. India holds approximately 4.9 billion tonnes of bauxite resources and aims to expand aluminum production to 37 million tonnes by 2047. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including mining approvals, carbon-intensive coal-based power generation, raw material import dependence, recycling constraints and CBAM-related carbon costs. As China's expansion slows and global supply chains diversify, India is increasingly viewed as one of the most important candidates to become the next major global aluminum production and consumption hub.

[SMM Aluminum Flash News] Russian Aluminium Share in LME Warehouses Rises to 93% as Indian Stocks Exit

Russian-origin aluminium accounted for 93% of available aluminium stocks in London Metal Exchange (LME) warehouses at the end of May, up from 72% in April, according to exchange data. The increase was largely driven by significant withdrawals of Indian-origin metal from LME warehouses. Total on-warrant aluminium inventories fell 23% during May to 254,625 tonnes and have since declined further to 250,525 tonnes, the lowest level since May 2025. While Russian aluminium inventories fell slightly by 3,950 tonnes to 237,175 tonnes, Indian-origin stocks dropped by 71,750 tonnes, leaving only 17,450 tonnes on warrant. Market participants noted that supply disruptions and logistical challenges in the Middle East continue to tighten global aluminium availability. Despite being eligible for LME trading if produced before April 13, 2024, Russian aluminium remains avoided by many traders.
