Several experts from the Ministry of Environmental Protection's Solid Waste Center attended the meeting as observers. Zheng Yang, director of the Hazardous Waste Management Department, answered questions about environmental protection policies in the precious metals industry and further explained future environmental management in the precious metals industry. 
Bian Jiang, vice chairman and secretary-general of the Precious Metals Committee, presided over the seminar. He presented a work report for the first half of 2017 and work arrangements for the second half to member units, and explained the organizational adjustments. Four new organizations were officially established: the Expert Academic Committee, the Rare Metal Committee, the Advisory Committee, and the Standards Committee. These organizations will primarily be operated and managed by member units. He congratulated the newly joined member units and made requests to three companies that did not meet the membership requirements, hoping that they would meet the qualifications of the Precious Metals Special Committee and join the organization soon.
Vice Chairman Bian Jiang introduced the current policy and financial environment of the industry, as well as the current major industry conditions, prominent problems, and development trends. He announced that the 11th China Precious Metal Recycling International Forum will be held in Hainan from November 5 to 7. A visit to the well-managed China Petrochemical Hainan Refinery is also scheduled during the conference.
Yuan Zhiwei, general manager of China Petrochemical Precious Metals Company, gave a framework explanation of the standard for the recovery and refining of waste catalysts in the petrochemical industry, which was organized by the Precious Metal Recycling Committee and led by Sinopec. Yuan Zhiwei stated that the formulation of this standard will inevitably have a significant and far-reaching impact on the industry. For the sake of industry regulation, Sinopec has the responsibility and obligation to undertake this important task. Sinopec Catalyst Company and Precious Metals Company, Maoming Petrochemical, Yangzi Petrochemical, Zhenhai Refinery, Hainan Refinery, and Huizhou Petrochemical, and other major refineries will participate in the standard formulation, and senior experts will be assigned to be specifically responsible for drafting the standard. The Precious Metal Recycling Committee will also arrange for qualified companies to participate in the relevant standard formulation work.
Regarding the current hot topic in the precious metal recycling industry—standards related to the recovery and disposal of automotive three-way catalysts— Xiong Qingfeng, chairman of Guirenpolymetal (Yimen) Company, the lead drafting unit, gave a brief explanation, and Li Kun, general manager of Guirenpolymetal DSM, gave a framework interpretation and conducted a feasibility analysis of future development plans.
The meeting conducted a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on standards related to the recovery and disposal of petrochemical catalysts and three-way catalysts. It was unanimously agreed that the standards are an urgent matter for the industry, are of great significance, and are related to the healthy and orderly development of the industry. They will have a positive impact on the future pattern of the precious metals industry. Standard development will be a long-term and continuous process, must be suitable for industry development, and must be widely applicable, practical, and operable. Suggestions were made regarding the participating organizations, processes, categories, and depth of standard development. After the dinner, representatives continued to discuss several meeting topics in depth until late at night. 
During the meeting, some representatives also participated in the hazardous waste disposal sub-conference, the electronic waste sub-conference, and the scrapped vehicle conference of the plenary session, and signed cooperation agreements on the recovery and disposal of three-way catalysts with scrapped vehicle companies.
