ICM accepts registrations for Shanghai events

ICM AG is accepting registrations and has unveiled schedule details for the facility tours to be offered when it hosts three co-located recycling conferences in Shanghai this November.

Earlier this year, ICM, based in Switzerland, announced it will hold the following three events Nov. 10-13 in Shanghai: the International Automotive Recycling Congress Asia 2025, the International Congress for Battery Recycling Asia 2025 and the International Electronics Recycling Congress Asia 2025.

ICM is accepting registrations for the co-located events and has been seeking presentation or panel discussion ideas that can be submitted through its website.

Plant tours in the Shanghai region open to registered delegates are scheduled for Nov. 10 and Nov. 13. SK Tes China, Baosteel, Botree Recycling Technologies and China Recycling Newell Equipment Co. are facilities available for touring.

Regarding the end-of-life vehicle, battery and electronics recycling topics covered in sessions hosted Nov. 11-12, ICM says key industry and regulatory trends in the Asia-Pacific region will offer one source of informational programming.

The increasing necessity for compliance with new environmental, social and governance; traceability; circular economy; and trade regulations will be another topic covered, as will the notion that Asia-based industries are focusing more on controlling and recycling their own materials.

ICM has long organized annual events on the three topics on its home continent of Europe. In the 2010s, it also hosted conferences in Asia, with 2025 marking its return to that continent after a break caused in part by COVID-19 travel and large group gathering restrictions.
