Focus on China | Metal Recycling Management Measures and Industry Development Analysis
Interpretation of the latest management policies on the recycling of industrial metal waste and scrap, access requirements and compliance standards for the recycled metal industry. Analysis of the domestic metal recycling industry's market scale, regional layout, and development trends. Discussion on compliant operations across the entire industry chain and strategies for capitalizing on policy dividends.
* Invited Institution Type: Relevant Chinese Government Agencies

Global Perspective | International Scrap Metal Trade and Carbon Footprint Compliance Practices
Analysis of recycled metal import policies, carbon footprint accounting requirements, and green trade barriers in major regions such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. Interpretation of international standards and certification systems for the metal recycling industry. Discussion on compliance pathways for the Chinese recycled metal industry chain going global and strategies for global expansion.
* Invited Institution Type: International Industry Organizations, Third-Party Compliance Certification Bodies

TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT
Manufacturer Perspective | Metal Full Lifecycle Management Practices
How equipment manufacturing, automotive parts, and electronics companies can establish a full lifecycle management system for metals—from raw material sourcing and production to decommissioning and recycling. Promoting the implementation of design for easy dismantling and sorting, and establishing targeted recycling collaboration mechanisms with recycled metal enterprises.
* Invited Institution Type: Leading Manufacturing Companies

Manufacturer-Recycler Collaboration | Integrated Recycling Networks and Digital Traceability Systems
Manufacturers control the source of decommissioned metal resources; recycling companies possess the technology and production capacity for recovery and regeneration. How can information and resource barriers between them be broken down? Through targeted recycling agreements, digital traceability platforms, and co-built collection networks, establishing a closed-loop industrial collaboration of "manufacturing-end recovery – recycler processing – recycled material feedback."
* Invited Institution Type: Manufacturing Companies or Recycled Metal Companies

Recycler Perspective | Design for Recycling (DfR) and Process Optimization for Industrial Metals
How to balance recycling efficiency and product performance during the production and design phase of recycled metals. Achieving adaptive design and process optimization for recycled materials such as scrap steel, scrap aluminum, and precious metals in high-end manufacturing applications.
* Invited Institution Type: Leading Recycled Metal Companies

Recycling Technology | Intelligent Sorting and Pathways to Scaled Processing
Key technologies and equipment for automated scrap metal sorting, upgrading of pyrometallurgical refining/hydrometallurgical purification processes, and the development and application of technologies enabling large-scale, continuous production of recycled metals.
* Invited Institution Type: Metal Recycling & Regeneration Process Equipment Suppliers

Material Regeneration | Efficient Recovery and High-Value Utilization of Precious/Base Industrial Metals
High-value utilization technologies for recycled metals: from scrap metal feedstocks to high-purity recycled alloys and functional metal materials. Achieving precise purity control of recycled materials, performance comparable to virgin materials, and case studies of applications in high-end manufacturing, new energy, and electronics.
* Invited Institution Type: Recycled Metal Material Suppliers
