Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of technology, infrastructure and construction creates a huge amount of post-processing waste. This type of waste is a by-product of certain economic processes, and is most often generated by the combustion of coal, biomass, sugar cane, municipal waste, sewage sludge or other materials. The reuse of post-process wastesin the wider construction industry, such as ashes and slags, is extremely difficult and costly due to specific physical and chemical properties. Given the need to protect natural resources, the principles of circular economy should be applied. Developing technologies to significantly reduce CO2 and the protection of natural resources is becoming a priority for many research teams around the world.
The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage scientists and researchers to publish experimental and theoretical findings on post-process waste management in building materials. A special emphasis will be placed on recent original research and industrial applications.
We invite you to submit your scientific achievements, especially interdisciplinary articles.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this Special Issue.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
