The inaugural China "2025 Recycled New Materials Conference," jointly organized by multiple national and regional bodies, was grandly held in Wuzhou, Guangxi. Centered on the theme "Industrial Material Circulation, Green Economic Development," the event convened leading experts, scholars, and industry representatives from across the new materials sector.
Jiangxi University of Science and Technology took a prominent role by hosting the dedicated "Forum on Recycled Nonferrous Metals and Recycled Rare Precious Metal Materials." This sub-forum attracted over 100 experts from more than ten renowned institutions, including Harbin Institute of Technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing, and Kunming University of Science and Technology, alongside representatives from research institutes and enterprises.
Professor Yang Bin, Executive Director of Ganzhou Laboratory, led a delegation of over ten faculty members and students to the conference. In his capacity as a standing council member of the Chinese Materials Research Society, Professor Yang co-chaired the plenary session at the conference's opening ceremony.
During the event, Professor Yang Bin and other esteemed academics met with Wuzhou municipal leaders to discuss advancements in the city's recycled new materials and rare earth industry, offering insights on industrial development and technological translation.
The University's delegation showcased its research strength through a series of compelling presentations. Doctoral researchers Ye Yuwei, Hu Jingwei, Xie Xiaolong, and Jin Shan, alongside master's candidate Cheng Xiang, delivered reports on topics ranging from tungsten carbide alloys to lithium battery recycling, sparking lively discussions among attendees.
By fostering the transformation of laboratory innovations into industrial applications, the conference built a cohesive innovation chain spanning basic research to market-ready solutions. The active participation of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and Ganzhou Laboratory not only strengthened academic collaboration in metal recycling but also significantly elevated the University's profile in the field of materials science.
