资讯 From November 2 to 4, 2026, at the invitation of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), GEM attended UNIDO's Circular Economy and Green Industry (CEGI) Week 2026 in Vienna, Austria. On November 2, GEM and UNIDO signed a joint declaration at UNIDO Headquarters, under which the two sides will deepen all-round cooperation in the circular economy and jointly promote the sustainable development of the critical minerals value chain for batteries. Gerd Müller, Director General of UNIDO, and Professor Xu Kaihua, Chairman of GEM, signed the declaration together.

Under the joint declaration, GEM will fully leverage its industrial practice across the entire chain in resource recycling and battery material recycling, and combine it with UNIDO's technical capabilities and global international cooperation network to carry out collaborative cooperation in four areas: green technology innovation and demonstration; policy dialogue and knowledge sharing; development of environmentally sound recycling systems and circular supply chains; and international partnerships and capacity building. The two sides will jointly explore practical, implementable solutions to help developing countries continuously improve resource efficiency, strengthen local circular industry capacity, and steadily advance green industrial transformation.
On the occasion of the signing, Director General Müller and Chairman Xu Kaihua held an in-depth exchange of views on follow-up cooperation projects and specific directions. Director General Müller showed particular interest in GEM's ten-year plan for circular economy industrial development, especially its global layout, and expressed strong interest in and positive expectations for deepening cooperation and advancing concrete projects. The two sides discussed how to combine GEM's circular economy industrial experience with partner countries' needs for green transition, skills upgrading, and local value addition. Chairman Xu Kaihua stated that GEM will use UNIDO's international cooperation platform to share circular economy technologies and practical experience, contribute the efforts of a Chinese circular economy enterprise to global green industrial development, actively participate in UNIDO international cooperation, and translate cooperative consensus into concrete action.

After the signing ceremony, Zou Ciyong, Deputy to the Director General and Managing Director of UNIDO, held a bilateral meeting with Chairman Xu Kaihua to finalize priority directions for the next stage of cooperation. The two sides reached preliminary consensus on three key areas. First, promote a talent development program for BRICS countries. The two sides plan to draw on GEM's talent cultivation experience in China and Indonesia to carry out talent development in the circular economy, green recycling technologies, and the battery value chain, providing talent support for BRICS countries' circular economy development. Second, promote the green upgrade and development model innovation of the International Green Industrial Park (IGIP) that GEM is building in Indonesia. The two sides will cooperate in areas such as low-carbon production and critical mineral recycling, integrate park construction with global circular industry capacity building, and create a mature model that can be replicated and scaled. Third, promote cross-border cooperation on lithium battery recycling and critical material recycling. The two sides will conduct policy exchanges and standards alignment on Battery Passport implementation, carbon footprint accounting and evaluation standards, and cross-border recycling policy systems, study specific implementation pathways, and facilitate cross-border collaboration in the recycling, regeneration, and circular utilization of batteries and critical materials.

On November 3, during the critical minerals recycling seminar, Dr. Wang Yaning, Assistant to the General Manager of GEM, was invited to deliver a keynote report titled “Challenges and Opportunities of Critical Minerals.” The report noted that against the backdrop of the global energy transition and the AI wave, critical minerals have become more strategically important than ever, yet they still face numerous challenges, including a complex and volatile geopolitical landscape and intensifying supply chain competition. Circularity is the most effective way to address these challenges, and the future belongs to the era of circularity. Dr. Wang Yaning also detailed GEM's industrial practice in critical mineral recycling, particularly a series of world-class achievements in power lithium battery recycling, electronic waste recycling, and green nickel resource smelting. Participants highly praised and fully recognized GEM's green achievements in critical mineral recycling and the circular economy.

As a leading enterprise in the global circular economy, critical mineral recycling, and new energy material manufacturing, GEM will take this cooperation as an opportunity to leverage UNIDO's international platform to share its mature industrial experience in urban mining and critical mineral recycling, tell China's green development story, actively engage global forces, and provide standardized, implementable Chinese solutions for the development of the global circular economy. Looking ahead, GEM will continue to work with UNIDO to help developing countries build modern industrial systems that are resource-efficient, low-carbon, and resilient, and to jointly serve the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
