Established in its current form in 2009, and incorporated as a UK registered company in
2013, Zibao is a trader in non-­‐ferrous metals - principally aluminium and copper. It imports these from a variety of international sources and resells them into the People's Republic of China to operators who process them into a 'clean' form for sale to foundries.

The Company was formed by Wenjie 'Joe' Zhou, whose family has had interests in recyclable metals for nearly twenty years. During this period he has established good relationships with a range of overseas suppliers and developed an in-­‐depth knowledge of the PRC rules and regulations for the metals recycling industry.

Metals recycling is a multi-­‐million pounds global industry and China is the world's leading importer of copper and aluminium and needs recycling to supplement its growing demand.
