[SMM Comment: New National Standard Implementation Combined with Tightening Tax Compliance Accelerates Rare Earth Scrap Recycling Industry from "Chaos" to "Order"] On July 1, GB/T 46992-2025, "Technical specification for classification and comprehensive utilization of recyclable rare earth secondary resources," officially came into effect.
