ASI’s participation at the 20th ALUMINIUM CHINA event in July 2025
This year was the 20th anniversary of ALUMINIUM CHINA, one of Asia’s leading trade shows for the aluminium industry and its main application sectors.
30 July 2025
ASI has more than 150+ ASI members active in China’s aluminium value chain. While the ongoing global trade uncertainty and tariffs are impacting aluminium markets, the ASI team heard that commitment to sustainability progress remains a strong focus in China. This continued commitment is critical to ASI’s sustainability goals for the sector, and it was great to hear that ASI’s standards are delivering value through clear improvement pathways and international recognition.
ASI was delighted to meet with a wide range of members and stakeholders during the event, including Binzhou Beihai Regal, Decathlon, Glencore, Shandong Innovation, Shanghai Aluminium Association, SMM, SNTO, Sunho, Lizhong Group, Nanshan, Rusal, Wanji, Xiashun, Zhongfu and many others. Visits and meetings continued over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, including to ASI member facilities of CSMET and Shanghai Giant Alloy, both active on the scrap side, with impressive approaches to scrap management.
On Friday 11th July, the ASI team provided multiple presentations at an International Aluminium Institute hosted workshop on GHG Accounting, along with the China Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA), RMI, Shanghai Metal Market and event sponsor SGS. The workshop focused on global GHG trends, decarbonisation pathways, and carbon footprint standards, while sharing experiences and exploring low-carbon supply chain development and international alignment. More than 250+ people attended the workshop, including representatives from aluminium manufacturing and processing companies, downstream users, certification and auditing bodies, as well as research institutes and organisations promoting low-carbon development. Leading companies from key sectors—such as automotive, consumer electronics, packaging, construction, new energy, and consumer goods—were also present, highlighting a shared emphasis on alignment and collaboration across the various organisations.
Sincere thanks to all for their time and thoughtful exchanges during our various discussions which resulted in a highly successful trip. ASI’s CEO plans to return to China in late September 2025 for further meetings with the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters (CCCMC) and several ASI members. We look forward to continuing to grow ASI’s membership and engagement in China.
