Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of sustainability in chemical processes and environmental technology is essential for addressing global challenges related to resource efficiency, pollution reduction, and renewable energy. As industries and societies shift toward more sustainable practices, innovative approaches in green chemistry and environmental technology play a crucial role in minimizing waste, reducing environmental impact, and optimizing resource utilization. Achieving these goals requires collaboration across multiple disciplines, integrating policy, technology, and scientific advancements.
This Special Issue focuses on the sustainable development of green chemistry and environmental technology, covering topics such as biomass valorization, waste reduction, renewable energy, catalytic advancements, biodegradable and bio-based materials, water and waste treatment innovations, green solvents, circular economy strategies, and life cycle assessment. By highlighting innovative research and practical applications, this issue aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals working towards a more sustainable future. Contributions from diverse fields are encouraged to foster interdisciplinary dialog and drive impactful solutions that support environmental sustainability and economic resilience.
We welcome your submissions and look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
