SMM: on the afternoon of July 1, when the whole country was celebrating the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the online "Media presentation meeting on the implementation of National Standards for recycled Copper and Aluminum Raw Materials" organized by the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association was successfully held. Shang Fushan, vice president of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, and Zhao Yongshan, Deputy Secretary General of the National Nonferrous Metals Standardization Technical Committee, GE Lixin, Han Zhiwei, Wang Jiwei, vice president and secretary general of the recycled metal branch, attended. Many media participated.

Shang Fushan first introduced the development of China's non-ferrous metal industry and recycled metal industry. It is pointed out that the recycled non-ferrous metals industry is an important part of the non-ferrous metals industry. China's output of recycled copper, aluminum, lead and zinc reached 14.37 million tons in 2019, compared with the production of the same amount of primary metals. save at least 16.41 million tons of standard coal, save 1.98 billion cubic meters of water, reduce solid waste emissions by 1.72 billion tons, and reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 521000 tons. It has made great contributions to resource conservation, environmental protection and energy saving and emission reduction.

Promoting the implementation of standards is a work that the Association attaches great importance to, and the implementation of standards is an inevitable requirement for the refinement and standardization of raw materials in the development of recycled metal industry, which can improve product quality and process stability, promote efficient recycling of resources; help to improve the global pretreatment and processing level of recycled copper and aluminum raw materials, implement the sustainable development agenda, and better serve the manufacturing industry and economic and social green development. The implementation of the standard is a new starting point for the development of industrial standardization. Relying on the standard of recycled copper and aluminum raw materials, further improving the quality of recycled non-ferrous metal raw materials is not only conducive to reducing the processing cost of non-ferrous metal materials, but also an important way to enhance the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry. It can also influence the garbage sorting campaign that is being vigorously carried out by the country. It is required to continue to assist the relevant state departments to do a good job in supporting work, strengthen the publicity and promotion of standards, and promote the implementation of standards as soon as possible.

Zhao Yongshan, GE Lixin and Han Zhiwei briefly explained the drafting process and main contents of the three national standards respectively. According to the introduction, since 2019, with the strong support of the General Administration of Market Supervision, the Ministry of Ecological Environment, the General Administration of Customs and other departments, the compilation team needs to ask enterprises, ask and plan in enterprises, inspect and exchange abroad, change their drafts several times, and finally complete the formulation of standards. This is of great significance to standardize the recovery of domestic renewable resources, guide the import of high-quality recycled copper and aluminum raw materials, and promote the high-quality development of the industry. In the next step, the focus of work will shift to the promotion and application of standards. I hope that enterprises will put forward more ideas and work together to promote the implementation of standards, so as to promote the steady development of China's recycled non-ferrous metals industry.

Wang Jiwei said that since the beginning of this year, the recycled Metal Branch has given full play to its professional advantages and organized the compilation of the "White Paper on Pretreatment Technology of recycled Copper and Aluminum Raw Materials" to help domestic and foreign enterprises better understand the standard technical indicators and requirements. Improve and select better pretreatment process equipment to ensure raw material quality standards, and promote the optimization and integration of separation technology and equipment. Promote the exchange and cooperation of foreign separation technology and equipment with domestic enterprises, such as Germany, Italy, Norway and Austria, and promote the fine separation of recycled copper and aluminum raw materials. Give full play to the responsibility of self-discipline of the industry, in accordance with the requirements of relevant national laws and regulations, and learn from the experience and practices of industry organizations at home and abroad, and on the basis of extensively soliciting opinions and suggestions, study and carry out the qualification of foreign suppliers and domestic consignees, conduct data review and on-site verification of enterprises engaged in the import and export of recycled copper and aluminum raw materials, standardize market order, ensure the quality of raw materials, and resolutely prohibit the import of foreign garbage. Truly support the compliance operation of enterprises with conditions, let a good policy environment produce a good market effect, avoid mass action, vicious competition, and increase environmental and regulatory risks. The formulation of the measures for the Administration of qualification Accreditation has been completed and will be carried out soon. Give full play to the function of coordination, timely report and communicate to the relevant state departments, reflect the suggestions and demands of domestic and foreign industry organizations and enterprises on the implementation of standards and raw materials supervision measures, and reflect the wishes of the industry. the relevant departments attach great importance to it and are actively communicating and coordinating to promote the implementation of standards and the landing of relevant regulatory policies.

The formulation and implementation of the three national standards of "recycled brass raw materials" and "recycled cast aluminum alloy raw materials" is a major event expected by the recycled non-ferrous metals industry and concerned by the world, in order to promote the upgrading of equipment technology and improve the quality of recycled copper and aluminum raw materials, it is of great practical significance to ensure the stable supply of raw materials, and will also have a far-reaching impact on the high-quality sustainable development of China's recycled non-ferrous metals industry.
