NDRC Issues 15th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy, Targets 8 Trillion Yuan by 2030

The National Development and Reform Commission has issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy Development, targeting an output value of 8 trillion yuan from the resource recycling industry by 2030. The plan aims to raise main resource productivity by about 16% from 2025 levels, when it was already 77% higher than in 2012. It also outlines measures to improve recycling of spent power batteries, wind turbines, and photovoltaic panels as large-scale decommissioning begins.

2026 Power Battery Recycling Sector Faces Compliance Shakeout as New Rules Take Effect

A new regulation on power battery recycling, effective April 1, 2026, mandates mandatory scrapping and full-lifecycle digital traceability, reshaping China's recycling market. Over 1,200 illegal sites have been closed. In 2025, retired batteries totaled 820,000 tonnes, with over 400,000 tonnes recycled. The 2024 market exceeded RMB 48 billion. GEM recycled 53,000 tonnes in 2025 (up 46%) and plans to expand to 80,000 tonnes in 2026. European and Chinese companies are deepening partnerships, including Suez's acquisition of a 35% stake in Xunying New Energy and Gotion's EUR 950 million Spanish project.

China Implements National Standard for Electric Vehicle Power Battery Durability

China has implemented a national standard on electric vehicle power battery durability, defining battery available energy state as the ratio of current usable energy to new-battery usable energy. On-board readings must not deviate from measured values by more than 5%, and virtual mileage conversions must stay within 3% of measured equivalents. For light-duty passenger cars, the battery available energy state must remain at least 82% after 5 years or 100,000 km, 75% after 8 years or 160,000 km, and 70% after 10 years or 200,000 km.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Holds Solid-State Battery Standards Meeting, 10 Draft

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a meeting to discuss 10 draft industry standards for solid-state lithium batteries, covering the full industry chain and three major technical routes: sulfide, oxide, and polymer. The China Electronics Standardization Institute is overseeing the drafting. The standards are divided into four core electrolyte material standards, three cell and general standards, and three testing and safety standards. They complement the national standard GB/T 43568-2026, which defines semi-solid batteries as having 5% to 20% liquid electrolyte, and all-solid-state batteries as having less than 5% and passing a 120°C vacuum test with weight loss under 0.5%. The push for standards aims to curb disorderly expansion and marketing hype in the sector.

US Companies Bet on Low-Speed EVs; Fiat and Chip Motors Offer $15,000 Models

US automakers are increasingly betting on low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs), a niche between golf carts and light cars. Fiat plans to sell its electric Topolino in the US at about $15,000, while California startup Chip Motors offers a similar-priced “Chip” model. President Trump has voiced support for micro cars, and regulation is lenient, with a 25 mph speed cap and no airbag requirement. Industry players see the segment growing, targeting short trips in gated communities.
