Dear Colleagues,

The interdisciplinary Topic Issue “Recycling and Value-Added Utilization of Secondary Raw Materials” is related to solid waste generated by the industry as well as by society. In a circular economy, waste can and should be recycled and used as secondary raw materials, which can be handled similarly to primary raw materials. The use of secondary raw materials in various branches of the industry is important for further development of the economy, decrease in minerals and energy, green industry, etc.

The main solid wastes generated in the world derive from Construction & Demolition, Mining & Quarrying, Manufacturing, Households, among others. The core interest of this Topic Issue reflects the quality improvement of these materials by separation, concentration, sorting, recycling, and reutilization.
