SHANGHAI, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ATRenew Inc. (“ATRenew” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RERE), a leading technology-driven pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services platform in China, today announced it engaged as the only voice from China in high-level dialogue on the infrastructure requirements for scaling the global circular economy at Circular Markets London on February 4, 2026. Organized by CCS Insight, a global analyst company providing valuable insights and analysis to navigate the complex technology landscape, the event brought together telecom and circular economy industry leaders for focused discussions on global circularity practices and outlook.
Mr. Jeremy Ji, ATRenew’s Head of Corporate Strategy and International Business, participated in the “The Economics of Refurbishment” panel discussion alongside executives from Swappie, Cashify and WeSellCellular. The discussion centred on regional market dynamics, the recycling value chain, compliant value-added supply chains, and cross-border policies and opportunities.
During the discussion, Mr. Ji highlighted the structural differences between China’s pre-owned electronics market and its Western counterparts. While North America and Europe rely on carrier-dominated models with consolidated collection channels, Mr. Ji explained that China’s ecosystem remains an open market, where supply flows through dispersed networks with ATRenew as a leading aggregator on the recycling end.
Addressing these unique market conditions, Mr. Ji detailed how ATRenew has built the automated operational infrastructure necessary to standardize non-standard assets into a consistent, high-quality, and compliant global supply chain at scale. As China’s consumption market evolves and trade-in programs become an increasingly important source of supply, the Company aims to bridge domestic supply with global circular value chains—connecting one of the world’s largest device markets to growing international demand for quality pre-owned products.
“Participating in Circular Markets London provided a valuable platform to exchange views with peers across the global ecosystem,” said Mr. Ji. “As China’s leading platform for pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services, we view the country’s open market structure and growing trade-in participation as essentials to become a new pole in the global circular market. The challenge for Chinese companies is to set higher standards for China-version specs by aligning advantages in local sourcing with international standards and quality expectations. We look forward to exploring business opportunities in the international market as we build up more operational capabilities to bridge the gaps.”
