About this Research Topic
The populations growing eco-consciousness is reflected in the improved way that old buildings are being maintained. However, due to increased usage, material utilization and waste generation is rapidly rising in many countries, despite the fact that research is being undertaken in waste material utilization. It is found that there are a lot of scope exits for the usage of many waste materials to a productive product and material recycling, focusing on SDG goals, is key for further development and it is emphasized in many avenues.
The term "recycling" refers to the procedure of reusing or repurposing old materials and objects. The recycling of used materials into usable energy is a common example of this idea in practice. One measure of a materials recyclability is its potential to recover the qualities that made it desirable to begin with. In comparison to "traditional" waste management, this approach has the potential to conserve resources and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions. Energy consumption, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution can all be lowered because of this practice, not to mention the waste of potentially useful materials and the consumption of fresh raw materials. The "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste hierarchy places recycling as the third priority after "Reduce" and "Reuse.". Hence, its mandatory to understand the methods, processes, and protocols available currently for material usage, waste material recycling and how to convert them into productive ones.
The main aim of the research topic is to address the issue of dissemination of information related to material handling, waste processing, protocols, frameworks, tools, and techniques used by researchers. This Research Topic focuses on how to use waste in useful materials and how much percentage can be used with a specific focus on mechanism of usage (including how it impregnates or aggregates into a product), as the micro structural mechanism is not studied or understood for many materials usage.
This Research Topic aims to develop a knowledge source through which a reader can understand what type of waste material is used in sustainable products, the process involved, and their strength and durability characteristics. We welcome submissions from practitioners, researchers, engineers who work on waste-to-product conversion.
Topics can cover (but are not limited to) the following themes:
1) Sustainable development goals and with focus on material usage
2) Various waste materials that have potential for reuse
3) Engineered composites using waste materials
4) Sustinabile cementitious composites
5) Pozzolanic material from wastes
6) Microstructural characterisation of waste material
7) Novel construction materials from waste
8) Advanced material processing techniques for waste to useful products
9) AI applications in material development
