Recent Progress in Materials is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of Materials. Its aim is to provide timely, authoritative introductions to current thinking, developments and research in carefully selected topics. Also, it aims to enhance the international exchange of scientific activities in materials science and technology.
Recent Progress in Materials publishes original high quality experimental and theoretical papers and reviews on basic and applied research in the field of materials science and engineering, with focus on synthesis, processing, constitution, and properties of all classes of materials. Particular emphasis is placed on microstructural design, phase relations, computational thermodynamics, and kinetics at the nano to macro scale. Contributions may also focus on progress in advanced characterization techniques.

About This Topic
Dear Colleagues,
A growing global population and the progressive convergence in living standards across countries lead to higher consumption, thus increasing materials use. Furthermore, as economies develop, investments in construction and infrastructure increase, leading to a higher demand for materials. Technological advancements and structural changes have the potential to counterbalance the increasing demand for materials used, partially decoupling materials use from economic growth. In recent years, countries have demonstrated more interest in resource efficiency to address environmental issues and achieve economic growth, employment, and resource security objectives. A transition to a more resource-efficient, circular economy (CE) – a concept that rests on a systemic approach to resource efficiency- will significantly affect the use of resources and contribute to creating sustainability in the environment, the economy and society. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite researchers interested in various aspects of waste recycling and reuse in the construction industry to contribute and share their findings and achievements. The aim is to provide a platform for the research community to advance waste recovery technology and facilitate practical applications in the industry. Submissions are encouraged to focus on, but not be limited to, the following topics:
