Manuscript Topics

The rapid urbanization and uncontrolled population growth of recent decades have led to the generation of vast quantities of waste, placing an enormous burden on the environment with significant social, environmental, and economic consequences. This has resulted in pollution, degradation of air, water, and soil quality, destruction of biodiversity, the overexploitation of natural resources, climate change, and global warming. In order to ensure a healthy environment and promote sustainable development, there is an urgent need for “sustainable waste management”. Sustainable waste management refers to the management of waste in a way that minimizes its negative impact on the environment, public health, and social well-being while maximizing resource recovery and promoting economic viability. It involves reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering waste to minimize waste sent to landfills and incineration facilities.

Sustainable waste management also involves a shift towards a circular economy model, where waste is seen as a resource that can be reused or transformed into new products rather than discarded. This approach prioritizes waste prevention, product design, and the use of renewable resources, as well as the development of new technologies and business models that support a more sustainable and circular approach to waste management. The goal of sustainable waste management is to create a more efficient and resilient system that minimizes waste generation, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, conserves natural resources, and supports a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations.

We invite submissions for this special issue, which aims to explore Circular Solutions for Sustainable Waste Management. We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds.

Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:  
• Electronic waste management and resource recovery  
• Plastic and microplastic pollution and their management  
• Agricultural and organic waste management  
• Waste and biomass valorization  
• Environmental pollution and mitigation approaches  
• Water and wastewater management  
• Emerging pollutants and their effects  
• Circular economy and circular business models  
• Sustainability and resiliency assessment of waste-derived products  
• Economic understanding and social acceptance of the waste management approaches
