Since 2026, China has achieved multiple breakthroughs in the field of industrial resource recycling, accelerating the construction of a comprehensive resource recycling system and continuously injecting green energy into high-quality economic and social development.

Previously, the first national rail transit full chain resource recycling system was officially completed and put into use in Tianjin. The on-site operation screen shows that a retired subway train that has been in service for over 20 years is undergoing standardized dismantling operations. According to on-site staff, the comprehensive recovery rate of steel and aluminum alloy after dismantling the train exceeds 98%, and the purity of recycled copper purification can reach 99%, with extremely high resource utilization efficiency.

Release of industrial potential

Since 2026, the national large-scale industrial equipment renewal action has been deeply promoted, and a large number of old and inefficient industrial equipment have been orderly withdrawn from the market, creating broad space for resource recycling. The Inner Mongolia region has successfully processed retired wind turbine blades into high-strength composite boards through professional techniques. A single production line can annually consume 10000 tons of retired wind turbine blade waste; The national level engineering machinery remanufacturing base in Xuzhou, Jiangsu can carry out precision repairs and performance upgrades on core components such as engines and hydraulic pumps of waste excavators and loaders. Compared to new production, the production cost can be reduced by more than 50%. Keywords: industrial cycle, green and low-carbon

According to relevant statistical data, the total amount of recycled resources in China will reach 417 million tons by 2025, and the total amount of the recycling industry will exceed 1.39 trillion yuan. Among them, the annual output of recycled non-ferrous metals will exceed 20 million tons, providing a stable resource supply guarantee for domestic industrial production. Next, China will continue to accelerate the construction of a comprehensive industrial resource recycling system covering areas such as rail transit, new energy equipment, and engineering machinery, to safeguard the green and low-carbon transformation of industries and ensure national resource security and stability.Editor/Gong Ziwei
