This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Science and Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a paper to a Special Issue we are co-editing on the topic of “Sustainable Materials and Waste Recovery”. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide best practices in waste valorization, including waste to materials, and material recovery as part of the circular economy. This Special Issue is inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.

We welcome applied research including case studies that can be related to problems of interest to waste researchers, practitioners, and/or policymakers. Case studies must describe results that can be applied beyond the specific location. Manuscripts regarding modeling and software development are acceptable if combined with lab experimental results.
