2025 SMM Battery Recycling and Circular Economy Industry Summit

Published: Apr 30, 2025 11:12

Conference Background

With the rapid development of global electric vehicles, batteries, as key energy storage devices, are gradually becoming an indispensable part of people's daily lives. However, the production and recycling of batteries have brought serious negative impacts on the environment, such as resource waste and pollution, which are becoming increasingly prominent. To address this challenge, governments, enterprises, and research institutions around the world are intensifying their efforts to promote battery recycling and circular utilization.

Global Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Status: Lead-acid batteries have been widely used in fields such as automobiles and UPS, with a relatively high recycling rate. However, due to the harmful substances contained in lead-acid batteries, improper handling can cause serious harm to the environment and human health. Therefore, governments around the world have introduced policies to support the recycling and reuse of lead-acid batteries, while strengthening supervision and encouraging active participation from enterprises and the public. Global Lithium Battery Recycling Status: Compared to lead-acid batteries, the recycling rate of lithium batteries is relatively low, and due to the presence of rare metals and other resources, their value is higher. To promote the circular utilization of lithium batteries, policies on their recycling and reuse are gradually becoming stricter, and related industry chain enterprises are actively researching and developing new recycling technologies and processes to promote the sustainable development of lithium batteries.

In this context, the international conference on battery recycling and circular utilization has emerged, aiming to promote global exchange and cooperation in battery recycling and reuse, drive innovation and development of related technologies, jointly address the environmental issues brought by repeated battery use, and contribute to the sustainable development of the clean energy industry.

Conference Highlights

01 Supply and Demand Exchange and Cooperation

The conference provided a platform for face-to-face networking, allowing enterprises to introduce their core products and main businesses on-site, promoting in-depth understanding among enterprises and the discovery of potential customers.

02 Discussion on Lead and Lithium Battery Recycling Markets

To promote sustainable development and build a resource-saving society, strengthen the management and supervision of waste battery recycling, and promote the healthy development of the recycling market, the conference invited recycling industry associations and enterprises to interpret current battery recycling policies and market analysis.

03 Closed-Door Meetings

Closed-door meeting on the progress of secondary refined lead delivery, closed-door seminar on power battery recycling

04 Interpretation of Tax Issues

One year after the introduction of the reverse invoicing policy and the cancellation of local fiscal tax rebate policies in the battery recycling industry, industry professionals were invited to interpret the policies issued by various regions and provide feedback on the implementation of the recycling market.

05 Domestic and International Market Situation and Macro Analysis

The conference invited industry experts to interpret the macro situation at home and abroad, discuss commonalities in the lead and lithium recycling markets, analyze the overseas market for lead ingots, and analyze the feasibility of recycling enterprises going global for investment.

06 Awards and Recognition

Establishment of a high-quality recycler selection activity

Lead Prices Stagnant, Smelters Maintain Firm Offers Amid Losses
Lead prices were in the doldrums, while secondary lead smelters maintained firm offers due to losses. The mainstream spot order ex-factory prices including tax narrowed the discount to the SMM #1 lead average price by 100 yuan/mt, shifting to a premium of 0–25 yuan/mt, with some smelters halting offers and sales.

Pre-holiday stockpiling by downstream enterprises had largely concluded, and a few had already entered the holiday period, completely suspending procurement. Next week, secondary lead smelters will enter a concentrated wave of production halts and holidays, resulting in sluggish trading activity in the spot market. Offers for spot refined lead orders were sparse, with prices moving in line with the market.

Sluggish Transactions in Domestic Secondary Crude Lead Market, Prices at 15,250-15,400 Yuan/mt
The domestic secondary crude lead market experienced sluggish transactions. As of February 6, 2026, the ex-factory tax-exclusive offers for domestic secondary crude lead stood at 15,250-15,400 yuan/mt. Downstream refined lead and alloy smelters gradually entered the holiday period, showing weak stockpiling willingness. Overseas lead ingot suppliers basically halted transactions with China due to poor consumption in the Chinese market, with only some previously concluded shipments maintaining normal in-transit transportation. The trading atmosphere in the secondary crude lead market will continue to weaken next week.
