CMRA selects Vietnam for 2026 event

The Recycling Metals Branch (CMRA) of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA) has announced it will be hosting the third edition of its Recycling Metals Spring Convention May 9-12, 2026, in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The event formerly was named the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Recycling Metals International Conference, says the Beijing-based organization.

CMRA has chosen the theme “Industrial Symbiosis, Sustainable Success” for the event, saying the aim of the conference is to gather global leaders in the nonferrous metals recycling sector to discuss policy trends, trade cooperation and the evolving landscape of the industry.

“The recycling metals industry is currently seeing a surge in global demand, driven by the automotive, electronics and new energy sectors,” states the organization, which has selected the JW Marriott Hanoi as the venue.

As it has in past events, the CMRA says it is arranging metals recycling facility site visits in or near the host city.
