Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent rapid development of recycling technologies has had an important impact on wind and solar energy production and transportation. The use of these new technologies in the eco-design of modern power generation systems can eliminate mistakes and shortcomings and make them more eco-efficient.
This Special Issue is entitled Sustainable Design and EcoDesign in Renewable Energy Production and Transportation. In particular, we wish to solicit contributions concerning further improvements to PV recycling technologies to decrease the environmental impacts throughout their life cycles.
The transition to a circular economy can significantly contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. The foundations for the successful circulation of resources are laid long before the manufacturing of the products, namely, at the design stage of the production systems. A better design can make a product more durable and more suited for repair, modernization, or restoration. Thus, the better design of manufacturing processes will reduce the environmental burden throughout the entire life cycle of the product.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
