Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue’s scope and goal are to observe the current developments and trends in waste management and biomass valuation study. It will introduce the most recent research and developments in waste management and valuation, which could resolve some current issues (e.g., wastewater; wastewater treatment, renewal energy, etc.) and provide new opportunities for the local provision of green technology. One of the most important study topics across the globe is waste management and biomass valuation, and encouraging new research articles or manuscripts that focus on the current problem will have additional advantages. The current topic can provide a forum for collaboration and communication, encourage research and innovation, raise awareness of important issues, and bring experts together to discuss biomass valuation and waste management. In addition, issues about sustainability, socioeconomics, science, and integrated approaches to sustainable development will be covered in this Special Issue. The goal of the current topic is to define, quantify, measure, and track sustainability, including sustainability tools, applications, and related laws and policies. Additionally, by bringing together specialists from different sectors to address complicated SDG challenges, the topic will span many SDG goals.
