Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of this Special Issue highlights advanced topics in the re-utilization of waste materials. Presently, a rapidly growing concern for environmental protection and resource utilization has stimulated many new activities in the industrialized world to cope with the urgent environmental problems created by the steadily increasing consumption of industrial products. Increasingly stringent regulations and widely expressed public concern for the environment highlight the importance of disposing of the solid waste generated from industrial and consumable products. How to efficiently tackle this problem is a very important issue all over the world.
Designing products for recyclability is driven by environmental and economic goals. To obtain good recyclability, two measures can be adopted. One is better recycling strategy and technology, whilst the other is design for recycling (DFR).
Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, biomaterials energy production, and consumer products. Any kind of contribution under the broad framework of the sustainable utilization of waste materials is welcome.
