The 2026 SMM Lithium Battery Recycling Industry Annual Conference (LBRI-2026) takes place on 26 and 27 November 2026 at the Xiamen Marriott Hotel & Conference Centre in Xiamen, China. It is hosted by SMM (Shanghai Metals Market) under the theme “Compliance for Long-Term Growth, Thriving in a Massive Ecosystem”.

The conference focuses on lithium battery recycling as the link between new energy production and the recycling end, at a time when the wave of retired power batteries from electric vehicles and energy storage is reaching large scale. It brings together participants from across the industrial chain to discuss standardised industry development, technological breakthroughs and new value in recycling.

Alongside the conference programme, the event offers exhibition, sponsorship and networking opportunities; visitor registration and programme updates are available on the event website.
