Against the backdrop of the global trend toward sustainable development and resource recycling, the strategic position of the secondary metal industry is increasingly prominent. With the accelerated advancement of industrialization, the contradiction between the finite nature of metal resources and the continuous growth in demand has become increasingly acute. As a green, environmentally friendly, and economically viable alternative resource, secondary metals have become a global focus.

To promote industry exchange and cooperation, the 2026 SMM (3rd) Global Renewable Metal Industry Chain Summit will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on May 11-12, 2026. Under the theme ‘Low Carbon, Global Echoes’, this summit aims to bring together leading enterprises, research institutions, industry experts, and policymakers from the global secondary metal sector to jointly explore new trends, technologies, and policies in the development of the secondary metal industry.

The forum will comprehensively cover four core forums: Japan Recycling Market, Base Metal Recycling, Battery Recycling, and Renewable Resource Equipment, providing in-depth analysis of the dynamics and business opportunities in key markets such as Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Europe, and the United States.
