Recycling and the Development of New Building Materials and Products—Third Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Modern design techniques and construction technologies are based on effective materials and structures that allow for the efficient use of natural resources and the reuse of waste products. Extensive research has been carried out in order to develop effective and sustainable approaches that yield a balance between the construction industry and surrounding environment. It is obvious that new structures should correspond to human development, taking into account the necessary ecological requirements. Therefore, one of the ways to achieve environmentally friendly construction is to reuse waste products. Proper approaches for reusing waste products in the construction industry should also consider suitable and effective energy technologies.

Developing modern design methodologies that allow for the optimal use of natural resources and for the reuse of waste products in the construction industry is incredibly important globally. 

The purpose of this call for papers is to exchange recent scientific achievements and novel ideas related to the reuse of various wastes as raw materials in this Special Issue, entitled Recycling and the Development of New Building Materials and Products—Third Edition. 

Researchers are invited to share their knowledge on the design of effective, ecologically friendly construction materials and products that can be used in construction.
