In 2023, the recycling value in China amounted to around 1.3 trillion yuan, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. The largest share of recycled materials was scrap metals, because of the high demand and the simplicity of the recycling process. In contrast, the volume of recycling batteries was the lowest among all leading recyclables.
