In the heart of Japan, a significant event is unfolding. The 2nd International Ausmelt® TSL Licensees Congress is taking place from November 11-14, 2024. Hosted by Metso Corporation and Dowa Group’s Kosaka Smelting & Refining, this congress is more than just a gathering. It’s a beacon of innovation in the smelting industry, shining a light on recycling, the circular economy, and the pressing issue of e-waste.
The congress draws around 50 participants from various corners of the globe. It’s a melting pot of ideas, where industry professionals converge to share insights and experiences. The event features a visit to the Kosaka Ausmelt® smelter, a facility that has been operational since 2007. This plant symbolizes the evolution of smelting technology, showcasing how industry can adapt to meet modern challenges.
Metso, a frontrunner in sustainable technologies, is at the forefront of this transformation. The company’s Ausmelt® TSL process is a testament to its commitment to sustainability. With over 60 installations worldwide, this process offers an integrated solution for a diverse range of feed materials. It’s not just about smelting; it’s about redefining how we think about waste and resources.
The congress is not merely a platform for discussion. It’s a call to action. The smelting industry plays a pivotal role in the circular economy. It’s a crucial player in the quest for carbon neutrality. The challenges are immense, but so are the opportunities. Experts from around the world are here to explore these themes, to exchange knowledge, and to inspire change.
Metso’s President of the Minerals business area emphasizes the importance of collaboration. The congress is an opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and delve into the latest advancements in smelting. It’s about building a community that shares a vision for a sustainable future.
But the congress is just one piece of the puzzle. Metso is also launching a renewed concept called Metso Plus. This initiative is focused on customer benefits and sustainability. It’s a strategic move to align with changing EU legislation and to emphasize the company’s commitment to supporting its customers in their sustainability journeys.
Sustainability is not just a buzzword for Metso; it’s the core of its strategy. The company’s Planet Positive approach, introduced in 2021, has evolved into the Metso Plus concept. This new branding reflects a broader commitment to driving positive change in the industry. With over 100 sustainable products in its portfolio, Metso is not just keeping pace; it’s leading the charge.
The Metso Plus portfolio is designed to deliver more. More efficiency, more performance, and more sustainability. It’s about enhancing technologies and providing additional benefits to customers.

Metso’s R&D initiatives are pivotal in expanding this portfolio. The company is committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that its offerings not only meet but exceed customer expectations. The message is clear: ask for more, and Metso will deliver.
The congress and the launch of Metso Plus are part of a larger narrative. They represent a shift in how industries approach sustainability. The smelting sector, often viewed as a traditional industry, is embracing innovation. It’s adapting to the realities of a changing world, where environmental concerns are paramount.
As the congress unfolds, participants are not just discussing trends; they are shaping the future. The dialogue around recycling and e-waste is crucial. In a world increasingly burdened by electronic waste, the smelting industry has a vital role to play. It can turn waste into resources, transforming what was once discarded into valuable materials.
The event in Japan is a microcosm of a global movement. It’s a reminder that sustainability is not a destination but a journey. The challenges are significant, but the potential for positive change is even greater. The smelting industry is poised to lead this charge, and Metso is at the helm.
In conclusion, the 2nd International Ausmelt® TSL Licensees Congress is more than just an event. It’s a catalyst for change. It’s a gathering of minds dedicated to redefining the smelting industry and embracing the principles of the circular economy. With initiatives like Metso Plus, the future looks promising.
