Conference Name:2025 SMM 2nd Global Recycled Metals Industry Summit Forum

Conference Time:June 12-13, 2025

Conference Venue:Hyatt Regency Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok, Thailand

Industry leaders such as Japan's Koji Industry, SVOLT Energy Technology, Thailand's Ministry of Industry, MNMA, Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI), JCC International, Hunan Rich New Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., and Yixin International have gathered to jointly explore new trends, technologies, and policies in the development of the recycled metals industry!

Currently, the recycling of renewable resources faces challenges such as low recycling and utilization rates, low levels of industrial organization and standardization, low overall technological capabilities, and a lack of comprehensive industry development plans and policy guidance.

Especially in the current context of increasingly scarce resources and the intensifying global climate crisis, the innovation of recycling and sorting technologies for secondary copper and aluminum scrap yards is of undeniable and growing urgency. This is primarily reflected in multiple critical aspects, including resource security, environmental protection, economic benefits, industrial upgrading, and addressing international competition.

Meanwhile, against the backdrop of global economic integration, green barriers in international trade are on the rise. Many countries and regions are imposing increasingly stringent environmental requirements on imported products and setting clear standards and norms for the recycling and utilization of renewable resources. For instance, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) implemented by the European Union imposes additional carbon tariffs on high-carbon-emission products, which will have a certain impact on the exports of traditional high-energy-consuming products such as copper and aluminum.So, how can we break through in recycling and sorting technologies to promote the sustainable development of the recycled metals industry and even the entire renewable resource recycling sector?

In this regard, during the 2025 SMM 2nd Global Recycled Metals Industry Summit Forum to be held by SMM in Thailand from June 12-13, 2025, Zhou Bo, Executive Vice President of SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd., will serve as the moderator, and Liang Jiali, Deputy General Manager of Foshan Lvtian Environmental Protection Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., Li Zhiqiang, General Manager of Henan Recycling Technology Co., Ltd., Ye Hangyu, Director of the Foreign Trade Department of Hefei Anjinglong Electronics Co., Ltd., and Sun Bolin, Sales Director of Liaoning Pinuo Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. will participate as guest speakers in a roundtable discussion on the topic of "Secondary Copper and Aluminum Scrap Yards: Innovating Recycling and Sorting Technologies to Pave the Way for Green Carbon Reduction in the Industry"
