✦ Inferred from recent articles This journal focuses on the comprehensive utilization and management of various waste streams, including solid waste from urban renewal, municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, electronic waste, and agricultural by-products. It explores methods for waste valorization, such as co-pyrolysis for biofuel production, synthesis of materials like aerogels and nanoparticles, and incorporation of waste into construction materials. The journal also covers strategies for waste reduction, recycling, and the development of circular economy models, including "zero-waste" initiatives and life cycle assessments of waste utilization technologies.
