Welcome to Sustainability & Circularity NOW

Sustainability & Circularity NOW  is an international, single-anonymized peer-reviewed and Gold Open Access journal dedicated to addressing critical challenges within sustainability and circularity.

The journal aims to bring together people from academia, industry, education, government, and policy to shape an ambitious, interdisciplinary agenda to tackle global environmental crises.

Sustainability & Circularity NOW welcomes solutions to enhance the sustainability and circularity of existing molecules, materials, and industrial processes, as well as groundbreaking discoveries of new and more sustainable molecules, materials, and synthetic procedures. Work on policy, industry and education relating to sustainable and circular chemistry is also welcomed.This journal covers mainly but not exclusively the following research areas:

• Green and Circular Chemistry
• Sustainable Chemistry and Materials
• Safe and Sustainable Design
• Product Design for Circularity
• Circular Material Design
• Circular Economy
• Green Manufacturing and Engineering (with specifications on green metrics, e.g. E-factor, Eco-scale ...)
• Biomass or Wastes as Raw Materials
• Biobased and Circular Plastics
• Zero Emissions Energy Carriers
• Metal Recovery and Recycling
• Alternative / Renewable Clean Energy
• Life-Cycle Assessment
• Environmentally Friendly Reagents and Feedstocks
• Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis
• Sustainable Industrial Processes
• Sustainability case studies aimed at fostering public and policy debate
• Green/sustainable chemistry education

Sustainability & Circularity NOW is the perfect platform for bright minds to share their most revolutionary research in the field of Chemical Science and beyond.
