Cleaner Waste Systems focuses on strategies that can foster waste prevention, optimize management, promote recirculation of matter and energy, and facilitate transition from linear approach to circular economy. Cleaner Waste Systems publishes current research on waste management solutions and policies, education, and economic and environmental assessments and aims to offer an interdisciplinary overview of recent research encouraging discussion and debate on how to achieve Cleaner Waste Systems from government, business, academia and society. The journal provides a key platform for publishing high-quality interdisciplinary papers on research and practice in the field, also including theoretical theses and innovative strategies as well as case-studies from practitioners. It looks outstandingly at the patterns of waste treatment to help identify more-sustainable solutions for waste systems and influence the so-called "end of life" of many products and flows. Though open to all scientific backgrounds, Cleaner Waste Systems will privilege contributions aimed at tackling the problem of waste generation and treatment under a systemic and relational viewpoint rather than devoted to a single molecule, process, product type, technology, in isolation from the context. The scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics, where the cleaner and sustainability dimensions are explicitly treated: Generation and characterization Minimization Relevance to carbon peak and carbon neutrality Circular economy Recycling, reuse and remanufacturing Storage, collection, transport, and transfer Treatment solutions (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other) Final disposal Environmental, and Life Cycle Assessments Accounting systems and flow analysis Economic analysis Policy and regulations Governance Education, social and engagement initiatives Sustainable planning and systems approach We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to fill out this form and contact the editors-in-chief for more information.
