Sustainable and Green Construction Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The construction industry sector contributes significantly to environmental pollution and consumes  huge amounts of non-renewable raw materials (about 1 million tons per day). To preserve these non-renewable raw materials and the environment, alternative products and waste have been used as secondary raw materials, such as construction and demolition waste, bottom ash from municipal solid waste, fly ash, biomass fly ash, glass waste, dredging sediments, etc. The aim of this Topical Collection is to encourage scientists and researchers to publish their experimental and theoretical researches into finding new sustainable solutions for the construction industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and non-renewable raw material consumption.
