Sustainable Construction Materials Ⅱ

Dear Colleagues,

It is a fact that the materials industry is strategic for the world economy. Therefore, it is a leading technological sector and, as such, any contribution made to the improvement of this industry is of great scientific and economic interest.

The Circular Economy model gives waste a fundamental role, based on its intelligent reuse, to convert it into raw material for new technological products, thus reducing energy expenditure and generating value as an asset for industry and companies.

The technological development points towards a synergetic functioning of the combination of different materials. Therefore, the research and development of multifunctional and sustainable materials that can provide a degree of technological innovation to the various sectors that use them is essential in any activity where direct and indirect impacts on the environment are generated.
