Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global waste generation is continuing to grow today, which entails the need to develop new strategies to convert residues into valuable materials. This affects various different sectors; for example, it is well known that one third of the world’s food produced for human consumption becomes waste every year, whereas sewage sludge management requires important costs, both in economic and environmental terms. In this context, waste valorization is an excellent option to embrace the strategy of the circular economy and sustainable development.
In view of the current situation, this Special Issue aims to compile the latest research on waste valorization topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Development of green technologies to waste management;
- Sludge valorization;
- Wastewater reuse;
- Obtention of bioactive compounds from food industry residues;
- Environmental assessment of waste management;
- Physical, chemical, and biological treatments for waste valorization.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
