Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Waste generation has massively increased around the world in recent decades, and it shows no signs of slowing. Due to the presence of such immense volumes of waste, the need for our society to develop adequate waste treatment and disposal technology has become ever more important. However, less than 20 percent of waste is recycled each year, with huge quantities still sent to landfill sites. Sustainable alternatives are urgently required to replace cement in construction applications, as is the development of environmental materials. Therefore, the application of wastes for novel sustainable construction and environmental materials is a hot topic in the current research. To solve the above-mentioned problems, appropriate analytical and technical solutions for waste utilization and pollutant control urgently need to be developed. This Special Issue is focused on the development of new technology for waste management and the control of emerging pollutants, as well as for the description of detailed related mechanisms.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
