Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous growth of waste streams generated by urban, industrial, and agricultural activities poses significant environmental and sustainability challenges. Addressing these issues requires the development of advanced environmental technologies that integrate chemical, physicochemical, and biological approaches to ensure effective waste treatment, pollution mitigation, and resource recovery. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad and interdisciplinary platform for innovative research on sustainable waste and resource management, covering solid waste, wastewater, industrial residues, and complex waste matrices. Particular emphasis is placed on advanced chemical and physicochemical treatments, their integration with biological processes, and their contribution to circular economy strategies. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and high-quality review papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced environmental technologies for waste management, adsorption-based technologies and novel sorbent materials, chemical and advanced oxidation processes, physicochemical treatment and separation methods, biological and biotechnological processes for waste conversion, circular economy approaches, sustainable waste valorization, and environmental remediation.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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-anonymized 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.
