The global trend of carbon reduction is becoming increasingly prominent.As the lightest metal structural material,magnesium alloy has broad prospects in achieving the strategic goals of"carbon neutrality"and"peak carbon dioxide emissions"and alleviating energy crisis.With the steady increase of magnesium alloy production,a large amount of waste is inevitably produced.These wastes contain a variety of valuable resources such as magnesium,rare earth,zinc,zirconium and so on,and it is necessary to recycle them to reduce resource waste and promote the green and sustainable development of the magnesium industry.In this paper,the regeneration and reuse of magnesium alloy waste were discussed.The methods and status of magnesium alloy waste recycling were reviewed in detail,and the technical indexes and process characteristics of each method were summarized.And then,the current recycling directions of magnesium alloy waste was reviewed,the possibility of recycling magnesium alloy waste was introduced,and the future development direction of magnesium alloy waste recycling was prospected.
