Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The indiscriminate use of natural resources was a trend in infrastructure for many years. The infrastructure area is of great importance for the development of countries, and also, it generates wealth and jobs. However, considering that this area generates much waste, it is also responsible for promoting environmentally friendly alternatives to deal with the problem.
Nowadays, in order to promote awareness of environmental sustainability it is necessary to promote research about recycling of wastes and sustainable alternatives. Otherwise, adverse effects such as the lack of natural materials and high prices will affect future generations.
The global challenge is to promote sustainable development practices, sustainable and green materials, and recycling. This Special Issue seeks to publish articles that address sustainable infrastructure construction, green building construction materials, recycling material roads, contributing to solutions to face this challenge. All areas of knowledge can be published in this Special Issue, such as, but not limited to: buildings construction; road pavements recycling, green materials, sustainability; solid wastes recycling; resilience; renewable sources; recovered, refurbished or remanufactured construction materials; energy efficiency, life cycle analysis.
