Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many processes (including production processes) cause a large environmental burden. The substances that pollute the environment are gases, solids, liquids and heavy metals. Due to the constant increase in people’s living standards, the scale of the negative impact of processes, such as production, is huge. For this reason, any activity that may somewhat contribute to reducing the harmful effects of production on the natural environment seems necessary. Therefore, it is important to take action in the fields of the efficiency and optimization of production, conducting closed-circuit production or reducing the emissions of harmful substances, as well as formulating pro-ecological strategies in company management or a rational resource-management policy. Actions aimed at limiting the negative impact of production processes on the environment should include the development of innovative methods aimed at a neutral impact of production on the environment and the improvement of the already-existing methods.
The topics could include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Eco-industry;
- The influence of industry on the environment;
- Pro-ecological strategies in company management;
- Efficiency and the optimization of production processes;
- Recycling production waste;
- Using byproducts;
- Rational resource-management policy;
- The combustion of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels;
- Analysis of the possibility of introducing production in a closed circuit;
- The reduction of harmful emissions;
- Technological processes and the environment.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI’s English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
