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!

Nguyen Thu Lan at Commerzbank noted that copper, once among the weakest-performing metals under pressure from rising London Metal Exchange (LME) inventories and mixed supply side news, has now transformed into one of the best-performing metals.Potential inventory sell-offs and the restart of the Panama mine could suppress price gains in the short term, but the sharp decline in Chilean production suggests that once concerns about economic growth ease, supply worries could dominate, supporting copper prices higher over the longer term.Nguyen said: "Copper is one of the best-performing metals. On the one hand, this can be attributed to copper being viewed as a highly cyclical metal.

Argentina Passes Mining Bill in Glacier Regions, Sparking Environmental Concerns and Water Security Fears
Argentine lawmakers passed a government-backed reform bill aimed at promoting mining investment in glacier regions. Environmentalists and scientists said the move would weaken related protections and threaten water security.The lower house passed the reform bill with 137 votes in favor, 111 against, and 3 abstentions. The bill took effect immediately upon publication in the official gazette.The reform, driven by the libertarian government of Javier Milei, sparked controversy for allowing provinces to set their own protection standards for glaciers and periglacial areas. Critics said the shift could weaken protections for high-altitude glacial landscapes that serve as vital freshwater reserves.
