SMM Embarking on New Aluminum Journey (Anhui) Secondary Aluminum Field Trip - Fourth Stop of Sino-Foreign Exchange: Anhui Lixing Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd.

SMM April 10 News: Green Journey, Co-creating a New Chapter in Circular Economy. In the face of global climate change and increasingly scarce resources, sustainable development has become a major challenge for the world. As a key part of the non-ferrous metal industry, the aluminum industry not only drives economic growth but also bears the historical mission of reducing environmental footprints and achieving the goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality."

Against this backdrop, Shanghai and Anhui, as important provinces in east China, are gradually becoming new highlands for the development of the domestic secondary aluminum industry, leveraging their strong industrial base and forward-looking circular economy policies. Secondary aluminum, as a model for energy conservation, emission reduction, and improving resource utilization efficiency, is increasingly highlighting its strategic value. With comprehensive advantages in geographical location, resource aggregation, and policy support, Shanghai and Anhui have attracted numerous secondary aluminum enterprises, forming a complete industry chain from aluminum scrap recycling and processing to high-end aluminum alloy production.

To this end, SMM organized a field trip to Shanghai and Anhui's secondary aluminum industry, aiming to gather industry elites, deeply explore the forefront of Anhui's secondary aluminum industry, and jointly discuss the green development path of the secondary aluminum industry. On April 10, SMM and the field trip members visited Anhui Lixing Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd. for exchanges.
