Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The green approach is no longer (and can no longer be) a goal of the future, but it is a real and practical necessity of the present. Recently, we have finally seen an acceleration in the development and application of green materials and manufacturing processes, and the importance of environmentally responsible materials or sustainable manufacturing processes has never been higher.
The aim of this Special Issue is to line up the most recently developed green materials and remarkable progress/developments in manufacturing processes, in order to take stock of new trends.
Scientific contributions can be focused on any alternative to traditional materials or processes that carry an environmental advantage, e.g., reduction of use of hazardous substances in manufacture, use of fewer natural resources, reduction of waste and pollution, recycle and reuse materials, and moderate emissions in processes.
