Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest advancements and innovations in the processes involved in sustainable waste management and environmental protection. As the global demand for effective waste treatment solutions grows, the need for environmentally responsible processes has never been more critical. This Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Innovative Waste Treatment Processes: Novel technologies and methodologies for recycling, waste-to-energy, and resource recovery that promote sustainability;
- Waste Valorization: Processes that transform waste into valuable products, contributing to a circular economy and reducing environmental impact;
- Biological and Chemical Processes: Bioremediation, enzymatic processes, and other eco-friendly approaches to waste management;
- Processes for Pollution Control: Effective strategies for minimizing pollutants and reducing the environmental footprint of waste disposal;
- Integrated Systems for Waste Management: Holistic approaches that combine multiple processes to optimize efficiency and reduce the adverse effects of waste on ecosystems and human health.
The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight transformative research that advances sustainable waste management practices and offers practical solutions for environmental protection. Submissions from researchers, practitioners, and innovators are encouraged, particularly those that offer novel insights into the integration of sustainable processes for waste handling, treatment, and resource recovery.
