CIIE 2025

On November 5, 2025, the opening ceremony of the 8th China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as CIIE) was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).

Crowned Again, Exceptional Strength Gains Authoritative Recognition

On November 6, 2025, during the 8th China International Import Expo, the 3rd Siemens China Zero-Carbon Pioneer Awards ceremony was grandly held at the Siemens booth. NorthStar Recycling won the Empowerment Pioneer Excellence Award for the second consecutive year, signifying the industry's continued recognition of its long-term dedication and outstanding contributions in the field of resource recycling.

In his acceptance speech, Dr. Zhang Tao, Chairman and General Manager of NorthStar Recycling, stated, "We were very pleased to join the Siemens Zero-Carbon Pioneer Program in 2023. Through our in-depth collaboration with Siemens, we have developed advanced technologies and processes, deeply integrating digital technology, low-carbon principles, and advanced AI concepts into our solutions."

He expressed that at international platforms like the CIIE, one can see a variety of new products contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction. However, when these products reach their end-of-life, how to achieve resource recycling and maintain the sustainable development of the green energy industry makes resource circulation particularly crucial. What NorthStar Recycling is committed to solving is precisely the vital "last mile" in this green industrial chain—ensuring resources endure through circulation and making sustainable development take root. This renewed honor serves as the best validation of the powerful alliance between NorthStar Recycling and global industrial giants like Siemens in building an efficient and compliant circular system.

From the Industry Stage to the National Platform, Strategic Value Further Highlighted

On November 7, Dr. Zhang Tao attended the "Invest in China - Green and Low-Carbon Industry Matchmaking" event hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and organized by the Investment Promotion Agency of the Ministry of Commerce.

Closely aligned with the "15th Five-Year Plan" dual-carbon goals, this event established a specialized industrial matchmaking platform to guide domestic and international high-quality resources toward investing in the green and low-carbon sector. It served as a concrete measure to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and strengthen the momentum for green growth. As part of the "Invest in China" brand series and a supporting event of the 8th CIIE, it provided a window for foreign enterprises to gain an in-depth understanding of China's green industry, zero-carbon park policies, and market opportunities through policy interpretations, park presentations, and matchmaking exchanges, showcasing China's proactive stance in continuously expanding openness and optimizing the business environment.

As an enterprise deeply rooted in the resource recycling industry, NorthStar Recycling consistently integrates the philosophy of "ensuring circular technology keeps pace with the times" into its business practices. From the exhibition stage of the Fortune Global 500 company Siemens to the industrial promotion platforms established by national ministries, the company's development path and philosophy have continuously received high-level attention and recognition at the national level. The resource recycling endeavors that NorthStar Recycling is dedicated to are precisely an indispensable part of China's drive for high-quality development and the realization of its "dual-carbon" goals.

This journey at the CIIE has, for NorthStar Recycling, brought clarity to our future path through industry affirmation and awards, strengthening our determination to use technological innovation as the engine to propel the resource recycling industry toward new heights of intelligence and precision. NorthStar Recycling, standing as an industry leader and joining hands with global top-tier partners, is fully committed to writing this future-defining standard answer with the pen of digitalization and AI intelligence, always striving to contribute its strength to the achievement of the "15th Five-Year Plan" dual-carbon goals!
