Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Sustainability, "Green Chemistry: Valorization and Byproduct Utilization for Sustainable Solutions".
With the world facing unprecedented environmental problems, green chemistry offers revolutionary ways to improve industrial processes and make them more efficient and sustainable. Green chemistry seeks to lessen its negative effects on the environment and improve resource efficiency by reducing the usage and production of hazardous compounds. This strategy's key component is the valorization (valuation) and use of waste materials and byproducts, which turn waste into useful goods while reducing pollution and conserving natural resources.
This Special Issue welcomes research that advances green chemistry, with an emphasis on the valorization and practical application of byproducts for environmentally friendly solutions. We are interested in submissions that show how the concepts of green chemistry may be used to improve industrial sustainability, lessen environmental impact, and increase economic efficiency.
The environmental, economic, and social facets of sustainability are all included in Sustainability. By covering important concerns including waste reduction, resource conservation, and the development of sustainable technology, this Special Issue is in line with the journal's objective.

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.
