Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global challenges of climate and the environment require the development of new technologies which are able to meet change targets. One of the most exciting challenges is to find options to recycle, reuse, and repurpose (3Rs) waste, which should be injected back into the economy as secondary raw materials. Wastes and byproducts can be used as a source of materials with the aim of also avoiding the use of natural resources. Then, to obtain suitable and safe reusable materials and develop sustainable 3Rs, processing technologies for waste management are necessary.
For the readers, this Special Issue will give an attractive opportunity to obtain information about research activities that are connected with the production of high-value materials derived from waste, and related technologies, able to reduce the environmental impact of some industrial sectors. Moreover, review articles by experts in the field will also be welcome.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
