It promotes coordinated development of the industrial chain and strives to create the most effective annual event for the global recycling metals industry.”

Sessions at the 2017 convention, the CMRA says, will “present [the] latest policy and development trends, new industrial opportunities, the development of international markets, capacity cooperation and opportunities under China’s 'One Belt One Road' initiative and 'hot spots' in the industrial chain, both upstream and downstream."

The provisional program for the November 2017 event also includes sessions focusing on pending foreign scrap import bans, sorting technology, environmental protection, military scrap, resource parks and the circular economy.
