Resource recycling is an important way for the metallurgical industry to ensure the safe supply of key metal resources and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality. From the perspective of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality strategy, this work outlines the overall status and the development trend of green low-carbon transformation in the resource recycling of metallurgical industry, prospects the development frontier of resource recycling technology in the metallurgical industry from multiple perspectives such as the scientific basis of material recycling, the revolutionary technology of "waste free metallurgy", the coupling of resource recycling and carbon cycle, the high-quality recycle of secondary metal resources, and the reconstruction of intellectual property rights based on digital technology. A series of view points is proposed to be useful reference for the green and low-carbon transformation and development of metallurgical industry.
