Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled ‘Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Waste Management Strategies’ follows topics linked to life cycle analysis, environmental analysis, recycling, and waste management technologies, stressing factors that affect their applicability and suitability for future solutions.
The research results of the articles in this Special Issue should show the environmental impacts of waste recycling processes and strategies and waste management technologies in the end-of-life stage of various wastes. This Special Issue aims to set up prognoses and research models with the conscious application of circular economy and scientific methods. The LCA study is growing as it becomes crucial for the world to be environmentally friendly.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Life cycle analysis;
- Environmental analysis;
- Circular economy aspects;
- Waste management;
- Recycling;
- Circular economy;
- The review of innovative technologies;
- Innovations and novelty solutions in recycling;
- Sustainability in the recycling process;
- Bioplastic recycling technologies;
- Recycling multi-material products;
- The life cycle assessment of recycling and products;
- Circular economy in recycling technologies;
- Policy and regulations in environmental analysis and circular economy;
- Recycling in the waste management system.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
