Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue, titled “Sustainable Manufacturing and Green Processing Methods” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/machines/special_issues/5XNSF3BW3F), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled “Sustainable Manufacturing and Green Processing Methods, 2nd Edition”.
The field of material processing technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of numerous industries, ranging from electronics and aerospace to healthcare and energy. As advancements continue to drive innovation, there is an increasing need to address the environmental impact associated with processing methods. The urgent demand for sustainable manufacturing practices and the adoption of green processing technologies has propelled research endeavors aimed at minimizing the environmental footprint while maintaining or enhancing the performance of manufactured components.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments and cutting-edge research in sustainable manufacturing and green processing methods within the domain of material processing technology. By focusing on mitigating the environmental impact of material processing, this Issue seeks to highlight the interdisciplinary efforts in designing eco-friendly approaches, novel energy-efficient processing methods, and innovative technologies to achieve sustainable and green manufacturing processes. Additionally, this Special Issue intends to foster an exchange of knowledge, ideas, and advancements among researchers, engineers, and practitioners working in the field of manufacturing. By featuring a diverse collection of high-quality contributions, we aspire to facilitate an in-depth understanding of sustainable manufacturing practices, green processing techniques, and their implications across various production systems and industries.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
eco-friendly manufacturing processing; energy-efficient manufacturing processes and technologies; waste reduction strategies and recycling methods; green solvents and chemicals in material processing; and life cycle assessment of manufacturing technologies.
