The volume of wastes produces has increased significantly worldwide. Contributions will focus on innovative approaches for transforming waste and secondary resources into valuable materials, products, and industrial inputs, while reducing environmental impacts and promoting the transition towards a circular economy. It brings together research and technological developments related to the recovery, reuse, recycling, and upcycling of industrial, agricultural, construction, municipal, and other waste streams. Particular emphasis is placed on the development and characterization of environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and resource-efficient materials, including recycled and bio-based materials, alternative binders, geopolymer and alkali-activated materials, supplementary cementitious materials, recycled aggregates, sustainable composites, and functional materials derived from waste. The theme also covers innovative processing and valorisation technologies, material performance and durability, environmental and life-cycle assessment, carbon reduction, resource efficiency, and the scale-up of laboratory innovations towards industrial applications. Contributions addressing circular material value chains, waste-to-resource strategies, technological barriers, economic feasibility, standards, and policies supporting sustainable materials development are also welcomed.
