Research on the Prediction of Copper Consumption and Recycling Changes in China under the Background of Carbon Neutrality

Abstract

This paper examines the recent development of China's copper industry in the context of "carbon neutrality." The issues of low resource self-sufficiency rate increased equipment levels, and limited industry discourse power in the global copper market are addressed in a number of different ways. Finally, based on the foregoing analysis, this study concludes that in order to achieve maximum resource utilization efficiency and carbon emission reduction, China's copper industry needs to strengthen technological innovation and cooperation, promote the development of the circular economy, and strengthen its synergy with other industries. The government should also create pertinent regulations and laws to encourage and direct businesses to devote more time and resources to recycling.
