预计2025年底我国再生有色金属产量将首次突破2000万吨

Core Insights - The Chinese non-ferrous metal recycling industry is experiencing rapid growth, with production expected to increase from 14.5 million tons at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan to 19.15 million tons by the end of 2024, representing an average annual growth rate of 7.2% [1] - By the end of 2025, production is projected to exceed 20 million tons, addressing resource and environmental bottlenecks in the industry [1] - From 2021 to 2024, the cumulative production of recycled non-ferrous metals in China is expected to reach 69.3 million tons, accounting for one-quarter of the total production of ten commonly used non-ferrous metals in the country and one-third of global recycled non-ferrous metal production [1] Industry Developments - The industry has saved 3.6 billion tons of mineral resources and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 560 million tons over the past four years [1] - The structure of the recycled non-ferrous metal industry is continuously optimizing, with significant technological innovations [1] - The proportion of recycled raw materials is increasing, becoming a core source for many processing enterprises, with some achieving over 60% utilization of recycled raw materials [1] Strategic Importance - Primary enterprises are increasingly sourcing high-quality recycled copper materials or recycled copper anodes to supplement mineral shortages, highlighting the strategic role of recycled materials in the industry structure [1] - The 14th Five-Year Plan period is seen as a critical time for the Chinese recycled metal industry to transition from parallel development to leading the sector, focusing on high-quality development [1] - The industry aims to systematically promote high-quality development, upgrade raw material supply systems, expand applications of recycled materials, and enhance the digital intelligence level across the sector [1]
