Information Event: Recycling and Comprehensive Utilization of Raw Materials in China (March 2022)

Domestic recycling and reuse of resources therefore is an essential strategy for China to ensure sufficient supply.

Non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, lead and zinc play a key role in this development.
