Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the case of GEM, a leading company in China’s recycling industry. As China’s fast economic growth generates tremendous demand for many non-renewable metals such as cobalt and nickel, of which China has limited reserves, GEM developed technologies and a business model that allow it to capture these opportunities in the recycling industry through a process they coined as “urban mining”
