Recent Advances in Municipal Solid Waste Management and Technology

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic focuses on recent advancements in municipal solid waste (MSW) management and technology, aiming to showcase cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and practical solutions for addressing the challenges of urban waste management. The goal is to provide insights into emerging trends, policies, and practices that enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of MSW systems. The scope includes, but is not limited to, studies on advanced waste sorting technologies, smart waste management systems, circular economy approaches, biodegradation and recycling techniques, energy recovery from waste, and policy innovations. We welcome submissions that explore these topics from multidisciplinary perspectives, including environmental engineering, urban planning, public policy, and data analytics.

This Topic seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in the field of urban solid waste management. We welcome the submission of high-quality research articles, review papers, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of physical and chemical treatments, with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and scalability. Some examples of relevant topics and fields of study are given below:

(1) Advanced sorting technologies for solid waste separation;

(2) Mechanical biological treatment (MBT) in urban waste management;

(3) Chemical stabilization methods for hazardous waste;

(4) Waste-to-resource conversion through chemical processes;

(5) Optimization of physical and chemical treatment processes;

(6) Nanotechnology in physical and chemical waste treatment.
