National Development and Reform Commission: For resource-constrained industries such as alumina and copper smelting, the key lies in strengthening management and optimizing layout.

The Industry Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission has released an article titled "Promoting the Optimization and Upgrading of Traditional Industries". The article points out that for industries with strong resource constraints such as alumina and copper smelting, the key lies in strengthening management and optimizing layout. Industries with strong resource constraints are the foundation of the national economy and play an important role in various fields such as economic construction and national defense. In recent times, various regions have shown a strong willingness to develop industries with strong resource constraints such as alumina and copper smelting. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary to adhere to a national strategy, based on the objective differences in industrial foundation, resource endowment, and environmental carrying capacity in various regions, to construct a production space layout tailored to local conditions and featuring distinct characteristics. Improve the mechanism for major project feasibility studies, promote proactive communication between local feasibility studies and national industrial control requirements, and prevent blind investment and disorderly construction. Encourage large-scale backbone enterprises to implement mergers and reorganizations, enhance the level of scale and groupization, and increase industrial competitiveness. Support backbone enterprises in technical research and development, enhance the technological advantages of the entire industry chain. Promote a new round of breakthroughs in mineral exploration strategic actions, optimize overseas mineral resources exploration and development cooperation. Improve the recycling system and promote the recycling of waste by category.
