Waste & Biomass Valorization is the first journal internationally dedicated solely to the valorization via chemical, thermal, biological or electrochemical treatment of waste and biomass to materials and energy, as opposed to the treatment of waste and biomass for elimination/destruction. The journal addresses the conversion of biomass, co-products, residues, and waste into energy and added-value materials within a global move towards a greener, more resource-efficient, and climate-resilient economy, and intends to play a meaningful role in the Energy and Environmental Transitions toward Sustainable Development in line with the strong commitment to supporting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Part 1: Regular Papers; Part 2: Special Issue: 9th International Conference on Sustainable Solid Waste Management, 2022; Part 3: Special Issue: Biowastes and Nanomaterials
This Special Issue will focus on the application of Bio-wastes-based catalysts in water treatment and monitoring processes to improve current advanced technologies, as well as on recent advances in the field.
This Special Issue will focus on the entire process of biomass/waste valorization aiming at a net zero future, especially the synergy between biomass/waste conversion technologies and carbon/hazardous pollutants emission reduction.

Palm plantations are the main source of livelihood for significant sectors of the world population, especially in the south. Whereas the main products of palm plantations receive wide attention within the scientific and industrial community worldwide, their biomass waste receive little attention. This biomass waste may represent a sustainable material base for a wide spectrum of industries ranging from compost. Thus, there is a need to valorize palm biomass waste and maximize their added value via industrial technological advancement that can help in the sustainable development of vast rural areas around the world. This Special Issue invites manuscripts that further our understanding of palm biomass and waste valorization in added-value applications, including construction and building, pulp and paper, textiles and fibers, biocomposites, food products, lumber substitutes, organic fertilizers, natural fodder and silage, biofuel and biochar.
