Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The improper management of increasing volumes of waste is a seen as a missed opportunity to recover the useful resources contained in them. The recovery of energy and resources from waste streams contributes to key concepts of the circular economy. Significant opportunities exist for waste recovery and recycling during collection, transportation and treatment processes. Thus, promoting, understanding and developing technologies and methods for recovering valuable materials and energy from waste flows are essential.
This Special Issue presents original studies on energy and resource recovery from waste streams. It also includes new results on waste recycling and sustainable management methods toward the circular economy. Furthermore, this Special Issue offers a foundation for engineers, managers, and researchers to exchange results and progress in waste recovery, recycling, and linked areas. We invite studies related but not limited to one or more of the following topics:
- Recovery of materials from waste (or by-product or wastewater);
- Recovery of energy from waste (or by-product);
- Waste biorefinery;
- Recycling of all waste types;
- Sustainable waste management toward recovering resources and energy.
