Aims and Scope
Until the 1990s, technology was the main driver when dealing with waste and residues, the objective being the treatment of waste for (landfill) disposal, storage, and in some cases sorting. In the 1990s, depletion of raw materials and socio-economical concerns supported the direct recycling of waste and residues. However, the direct recycling approach is limited when waste/residues contain significant amounts of pollutants such as heavy metals and organics (VOC, PAH), and when the treatment process to remove/stabilize or destruct the pollutant generates emissions. Due to depletion of natural resources, increasing greenhouse emissions, and awareness of the need for sustainable development in terms of safely reusing waste and biomass, the transformation of waste/biomass to valuable materials and energy (i.e. valorization) is emerging as a strong trend

2021.4.30 new submission;
2021.5.6 Returned with added statement of innovation; (There was a problem during submission, the submission system had a blank space that required 200 characters, I thought that was the statement of innovation, but it wasn't, it needs to be attached as a separate Word document, within 120 words);
2021.5.11 Editor assigned; Now waiting, unsure of the next status or how long it will take to update...
Additionally, the number of publications in this journal has increased significantly, it seems to have reached 800 in 2020, but it hasn't been updated here. I will check the homepage.

This journal is very bad, and I hope everyone does not submit to it. I previously submitted an article and found an issue, so we have been emphasizing the need to withdraw it since there was no status of being under review. However, the editorial department kept telling me that they are still evaluating it. I don't understand at all. Since the paper has not been sent for review, what is there to evaluate? The authors have already requested to withdraw it, so why evaluate anything? This journal is particularly unprofessional, and I suggest that everyone should not submit to it.
