In early November, the Global Battery Alliance (GBA) Annual Meeting was successfully held in Shanghai and Ningde. Remarkably, it was the first time the meeting was held outside Europe. Big thanks to GBA for getting nearly 70 organizations with 140 professionals together.

Our CEO, Dr. Xiao Lin was proud to be a roundtable speaker for the Circular & Critical Minerals Advisory Group (CMAG), moderated by Pramoda GodePramoda Gode. Alongside industry experts Tim SchloesserTim Schloesser from GlZ, Ke WangKe Wang of WRI, and Susannah McLarenSusannah McLaren from The Cobalt Institute, we dug into pressing sustainability issues in primary mineral chains and recycling. We talked about key topics such as expanding supply chain checks to recycled materials, helping mineral-producing countries add value, circular design, and bridging global coordination gaps. The insights will steer our 2025 plans and boost a more sustainable future in battery and mineral recycling. Stay tuned!

Another milestone was on November 7th. The GBA officially launched the results of its Battery Passport MVP project at the World Energy Storage Conference in Ningde, Fujian. Here at Botree Recycling Technologies, we're honored to have been deeply involved in compiling guidance manuals for multiple ESG indicators of the GBA Battery Passport and doing the data verification work for this project.

We are looking forward to working with industry professionals to better promote the sustainable development of power batteries.
