Sustainable Waste Management in the Context of Urban Environment

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to publish your latest research results in this Special Issue of Sustainability on sustainable waste management in the context of the urban environment. Waste management has emerged as a major concern, as unsustainable waste generation is causing a serious burden on the environment. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the specifics of waste management in urban areas and larger cities.

We invite methodological, technological, and application-oriented contributions, including (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Waste-to-energy technologies;
• Forecasting of waste generation and composition;
• Waste collection (scheduling);
• Legislature development and planning;
• Recycling (pricing and advertising strategies);
• Food waste valorization;
• Smart waste monitoring systems;
• Trends in waste processing.

Review papers and articles based on multidisciplinary research are also encouraged.
