Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on ‘Sustainable Waste Process Engineering and Biomass Valorization’ focuses on advancing innovative approaches to waste management, specifically through the conversion of waste into valuable resources. The key areas of interest include circular economy principles, waste-to-energy technologies, and sustainable biomass utilization. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses engineering solutions, scientific advancements, and policy frameworks for achieving sustainable development goals by minimizing waste and promoting resource efficiency. The Special Issue will delve into socio-economic and environmental challenges associated with sustainable waste processes and offer integrated approaches combining technology, science, and policy. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bridge gaps in the existing literature by focusing on multidisciplinary approaches to waste valorization and circular economy, linking scientific research with practical solutions. It will supplement research by exploring novel methods for quantifying sustainability, developing monitoring tools, and addressing policies that govern waste management practices. This Special Issue contributes to sustainability by promoting waste reduction, resource recovery, and environmental protection. It addresses key challenges such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fostering renewable energy production, and enhancing socio-economic equity through responsible waste management practices. It also encourages an integrated approach, incorporating life cycle assessments, policy evaluations, and technological innovations for achieving long-term sustainable outcomes.
