BRICS nations are expanding industrial partnerships focused on smart manufacturing and low-carbon technologies. Recent forums in Xiamen highlight a shift toward green development, including the use of bamboo-based plastic substitutes and integrated battery production. A major highlight is a 6 billion USD project by CATL and Indonesian firms. This initiative covers the full battery lifecycle, from nickel mining and smelting to cell production and recycling, aiming to strengthen the global green energy supply chain.
