Selected papers of the 2nd International Research Conference on Sustainable Energy, Engineering, Materials and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

As guest editor, I would like to welcome you to the Special Issue the journal Recycling will publish, with selected papers of the 2nd International Research Conference on Sustainable Energy, Engineering, Materials and Environment (www.ircseeme.com). This Special Issue will include only papers presented at the mentioned conference, that will be held at the Polytechnic School of Mieres (University of Oviedo, Spain), from the 25th to the 27th July 2018.

We welcome papers related to any of the topics included in the subject areas of the journal, but not limited to it.

Waste is one of the biggest problems in our world today. Not only it costs a large amount of money, but we also spend a lot of energy and natural resources to transport and process any products once we’re done with them. We are producing a big quantity of waste in the world nowadays, releasing more methane gas to the environment (contributing to climate change), as well as toxic sludge that can kill animals and plants and contaminate the water we drink.

Waste pollutes our planet, contributes to climate change, and makes us spend each time more money, energy, and natural resources.

The Special Issue of the 2nd International Research Conference on Sustainable Energy, Engineering, Materials and Environment, will document current and innovative research and solutions that contribute for the reduction of waste in our planet. Experts from academia and industry, designers, architects, engineers, scientists, and other are invited to share their expertise, theoretical and applied knowledge related to waste reduction.

Best regards,

Dr. Jose Luis Rodríguez Gallego
Guest Editor
