About this Research Topic
The population's growing eco-consciousness is reflected in the improved way that old buildings are being maintained. Material utilisation is steadiliy increasing and waste generation due to usage is also rapidly rising in many countries. Currently, inspite of the reason that bountiful research works being undertaken in waste material utilisation, it is found that lot of scope exits for the usage of many waste materials to a productive product. Also, material recycling, focusisng on SDG goals is key for further development and its emphasised 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 practise. One measure of a material's 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 as a result of this practise, not to mention the waste of potentially useful materials and the consumption of fresh raw materials. The "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling" waste hierarchy places recycling as the third priority after "Reduce" and "Reuse.". Hence, its mandatory to understand the methods, process and protocols available currently for material usage, waste material recycling and how to convert them into productive one.
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 topic targets practitioners, researchers, engineers who work on waste to product conversion, logically " Ecoengineers". Majority of the researchs prime focus is on how to use waste in useful materials and how much percentage can be used but the primary focus on mechanism of usage, how it impregnates or aggregates into a product, micrso structural mechanism is not studied or understood for many material usage. This topic will focus on developing a knowledge source through which a reader can understand what type of waste material is used in sustainable product, process involved, strength and durability characteristics of the same.
This special issue/ topic will focus on the topic that are listed below but not limited to
1) Sustainable development goals and with focus on material usage
2) Various waste materials that have potential for resuse
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
