Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The amount of waste and wastewater has been increasing along with expanding population and rising human activities. At present, the implementation of sustainable biotechnology is becoming increasingly important. This refers to any activities that are aimed at reducing the negative impacts of wastewater and waste on the environment. To achieve the goal of sustainability we need to apply efficient and intensive methods for waste and wastewater treatment while simultaneously recovering value‐added products. There are significant opportunities in turning waste and wastewater into valuable resources.
The topics of this Special Issue include sustainable biotechnology in: i) wastewater treatment; ii) waste treatment, including biodegradable municipal organic waste, waste from agri-food industries, and sewage sludge; and iii) the recovery of value‐added products from wastewater and waste.
The Special Issue is dedicated to research and applications of modern and advanced biotechnologies used for waste and wastewater treatment, and biotechnologies considering waste and wastewater as a resources. It aims to advance and disseminate knowledge in all areas related to biological waste and wastewater treatment.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
