Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MDPI’s journal Sustainability calls for manuscripts for a Special Issue entitled “Waste to Energy: An Approach Towards Sustainability”. This Special Issue seeks contributions that explore innovative methods and technologies for converting waste materials into energy with a focus on advancing sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact, promote efficient resource utilization, and support the transition to a circular economy.
Submissions may cover topics such as technological advancements in waste conversion, policy and regulatory frameworks, economic viability, and case studies demonstrating successful implementation. The goal is to gather diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research that highlight the potential of waste-to-energy solutions to achieve sustainability goals. Researchers, industry experts, and policymakers are encouraged to contribute their insights and findings to this important field.
