Sustainable Waste Management and Clean Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, "Sustainable Waste Management and Clean Technologies," aims to advance scientific knowledge and practical solutions for addressing the growing environmental, economic and social challenges associated with waste generation and resource depletion. It provides a multidisciplinary platform for research on innovative waste prevention, recycling, resource recovery, waste valorization, circular economy strategies and emerging clean technologies that minimize environmental impacts while promoting sustainable development.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions covering advanced treatment processes, waste-to-energy systems, sustainable materials, industrial symbiosis, life-cycle assessment, environmental risk assessment, digital technologies and policy frameworks that support sustainable waste management. Particular emphasis is placed on integrated approaches that improve resource efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect ecosystems and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

By bringing together cutting-edge research from engineering, environmental science, economics and policy, this Special Issue complements the existing literature by highlighting interdisciplinary solutions that bridge technological innovation with sustainability assessment, governance and real-world implementation. It seeks to support the transition toward resilient, low-carbon and circular societies through scientifically robust and practically applicable research.
