Green Manufacturing and Sustainable Materials

This special topic focuses on engineering materials and processes that enable sustainable, resource- and value-efficient manufacturing of lightweight metals while retaining or enhancing performance across various life cycles. Contributions may address circularity concepts considering all R-strategies from Reuse over Repair and Remanufacturing to Recycling, resilient processing routes, low-carbon and energy-efficient manufacturing, material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA). Studies bridging fundamental materials research and engineering with industrial or social implementation and sustainability goals are particularly welcome.
