Sustainable Recycling of Municipal Solid Waste

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue ‘Sustainable Recycling of Municipal Solid Waste’ aims to collect valuable scientific contributions that discuss established or promising sustainable municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling processes. The contributions can be related to mechanical, chemical or combined recycling processes of MSW components, such as paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, aluminum, steel, etc. The authors’ approaches can be environmental, economic, social, or combined in light of the concept of sustainable development. Submissions may be related to separate collection of MSW and selection processes of MSW, or specific flows. Contributions discussing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) are particularly encouraged; however, articles of a more sociological or economic nature may also be proposed. Submissions can even tackle environmental education or communication initiatives in the field of MSW recycling. Original research or review articles are welcome.
