As guest editors of this issue, we welcome contributions from various disciplines. We would like to invite you to consider submitting your full paper to this special issue.

Submission Period: 02nd January 2021- 25th July 2021

Among serious contemporary ecological pressures, water contamination is most likely one that everyone aware of that which inferable from the fast industrialization, the expanding amount of components in soil, air, and water bodies, for example, inorganic and organic waste, toxic dyes, and heavy metals, is threatening our wellbeing. This special issue will focuses on the essential of an advanced materials and technologies for the sustainable development in detection and remediation of environmental pollutants in a comprehensive manner. The different dimensional surface structured materials are an important property which directs the effective surface active area. Particularly, the role of chemical composition, surface active sites, several synergetic effects along with their chemical functionality, challenges associated with controlling the physiochemical and functional properties of materials, recent advances and future direction of environmental research will be focused. Presently, various process, including photocatalytic degradation, adsorption, bioremediation, advanced oxidation, membrane filtration, and electrocatalytic oxidation have been embraced to limit the effects of the influx of waste discharged from industry. Consequently, upholding new approaches to deal with the blend of cutting-edge materials will prompt a superior society portrayed by the pursuit for a sustainable environment. Further, the special issue deals with depth analysis of core-shell type, metal oxide, polymer composites, graphene based composite, z-scheme, MXene based semiconductors towards an efficient detection and removal of toxic pollutants from industrial residue.

Summary of this Virtual issue

Green, Circular and Bioeconomy are mainstreamed as global sustainability concepts (D’Amato et al., 2017). Despite their interrelation towards a sustainable exploitation of natural resources in economic cycles, their relations, benefits/barriers, and best practices are hardly discussed in literature, especially referring to the public sector. Generally, private actors are considered as the driving force behind an economic model and public actors are mainly responsible for public strategies. However, the public sector can play a key role also in terms of practices. Both central governments and municipalities can interact among each other by providing more human-oriented practices and strategies in terms of social and environmental aspects, by developing economic opportunities and involving a wide range of actors. In parallel, private actors can represent the frontier for best circular practices to enable a positive shift also in public actors.

Measuring the impacts of policy actions requires good quality data, metrics and indicators to monitor the performance of the economy with respect to the use of raw materials, the management of waste flows and recycling and circularity practices (Wang et al., 2020). Furthermore, policy and decision makers need robust quantitative approaches to select and implement strategies to move towards sustainable development (Gonzalez et al., 2018; Santibanez-Gonzalez and Huisingh, 2015; Santibanez Gonzalez et al., 2019). At the same time, the water–food–energy nexus models for bioeconomy have attracted the attention of decision-makers oriented towards a less resource-intensive society (Ronzon and Sanjuán, 2020). A coordination between the development of the regional economy and the environment is required for green growth (Baleta et al., 2019) providing a global challenge that concerns developed and developing countries.

This Virtual Special Issue (VSI) aims to stimulate a debate on these aspects, supporting a creative and valuable discussion between leading international researchers and experts on these three reference topics: i) green economy, ii) circular economy and iii) bioeconomy. VSI articles should focus on resource management practices and strategies in the public/private sectors.

Potential authors are encouraged to submit high-quality original empirical, quantitative, and conceptual research papers. Topics include, but are not limited to:


The nexus among technological and economic aspects of renewable energies within public/private facilities.

The impact of public policies associated to green practices for economic development in rural areas/cities.

The assessment of circularity performances in the public/private sector of developed and developing countries.

The adoption of circular practices and strategies in public/private sector of developed and developing countries.

The role of policy makers in the development of good quality data, metrics and indicators to monitor performances of the emerging circular bioeconomy.

The assessment of alternative (and/or complementary) policy measures in stimulating the emergence of a circular bioeconomy in developed and developing countries.

The assessment of the social and environmental benefits associated with the emergence of a circular bioeconomy in developed and developing countries.

There has been great development in the field of plastics recycling over the past decade. For many post-consumer waste streams, mechanical recycling is now used and chemical recycling is emerging. However, there are still many plastic wastes that are challenging to be recycled because of their composition (such as multiple layers or plastics containing brominated flame retardants, …) or unavoidable contaminations (inks, adhesives, unwanted halogens). Often, there is no cost-benefit balance and difficult to recycle plastics are incinerated or even landfilled.

For such plastic waste streams to remain in the circular economy, we require solutions beyond the current state of the industry, that can either handle complex compositions, decontaminate the waste plastic of unwanted components, or a combination of both.

This Special Issue aims to bring together current progress in valorising challenging plastic waste streams. The VSI specifically addresses innovative treatments that are beyond the scope of what is considered today’s standard. Conventional studies on mechanical or chemical recycling of plastics, while valuable, are not in the scope of this VSI.

The following topics are addressed:

Delamination (or selective dissolution) of multilayer plastics

Dissolution/precipitation

De-odourization

Decontamination (of additives, toxic components, valuable fillers…)

Innovations in pyrolysis or gasification

Depolymerization/repolymerization

Sustainability assessment of innovative processes or management schemes

Papers must conform to the manuscript guidelines provided on the journal web page and uploaded using the EES online platform. All papers will undergo the standard peer-review process.

The EES website is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/wm/default.asp. The authors must select as “VSI: Difficult plastic recycling” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

Important Dates

Full Paper Submission will start on: 1 January 2021

Full Paper Submission will close on: 30 October 2021

Waste Management journal has adopted the article-based publishing (ABP) system. As a result, all accepted papers of the “VSI: Difficult plastic recycling” will be published a few days after their acceptance.

irtual Special Issue in Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment

Pathway into Full Autonomy by Leveraging Infrastructure Enabled Automation

Infrastructure Enabled Autonomy (IEA) is an evolving field of transportation. Unlike conventional autonomy, where the individual vehicles process perception and make decisions, IEA distributes some of the work to roadside infrastructure. IEA potentially addresses two obstacles hindering a full roll-out of vehicle automation: i) accuracy and robustness of perception, and ii) high costs of equipment on vehicles. With fixed-location sensors, the accuracy of perception is improved to within a centimeter under all weather conditions. Additionally, vehicles do not require as much on-board computing capability as currently required for a fully autonomous driving mode. IEA offers the potential to make autonomy feasible at a lower cost to consumers. The role of transportation agencies or other stakeholders in managing and maintaining the needed roadside infrastructure is unknown.
