Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The amount of waste generated up until this point has been increasing, but so has the concern to find solutions to it. The starting point is the increasingly demanding regulations on waste management, which has led to attempts by researchers and public administrations to find different solutions to the problem, not only in terms of minimizing waste generation, but also in terms of its treatment, recycling, and subsequent reuse. These ideas can be transformed into new opportunities and the opening of new market niches that can be used for the benefit of the entire society. Entrepreneurs, designers, distributors, manufacturers, and users can be participants in the solution to the problem of waste management.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the problem and present new proposals that are being studied.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Towards sustainable construction.
- Sustainable cities: the importance of a good choice of construction materials.
- Sustainable construction materials: towards a circular economy.
- Circular economy in the construction sector: recycling potential.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
