Over　the　past　century　of　construction　and　development,　China　has　become　the　largest　copper　consumer　globally.　However,　considering　the　current　situation　of　Chinese　copper　resources　and　industrial　development　patterns,　the　green　development　of　the　copper　industry　faces　numerous　challenges.　In　this　study,　based　on　analyses　of　current　and　secondary　copper　resources,　the　consumption　of　copper　resources,　the　status　of　the　copper　trade,　and　industrial　policy　development,　major　problems　have　been　identified.　These　include　a　lack　of　innovation　capacity　and　advanced　copper　products,　the　disordered　expansion　of　copper　processing　enterprises,　conflicts　between　resources　and　the　environment,　and　excessive　dependence　on　external.　Under　the　guidance　of　green　develop.　ment　in　the　13th　Five　Year　Plan,　in　order　to　accelerate　green　development　of　the　Chinese　copper　industry,　this　study　has　proposed　countermeasures　and　suggestions,　such　as　digging　mining　resource　potential,　adjusting　industrial　structures,　promoting　technological　innovation,　and　strengthening　policy　regulation.
