Scope: Metals are the backbone of modern society and are present in everything from infrastructure to electronics. However, their extraction and processing come at a significant environmental cost, generating carbon emissions and large volumes of waste. As the world pushes towards a sustainable future, achieving "zero carbon" and "zero waste" in the metals sector becomes a crucial imperative. This special topic invites submissions that address challenges and propose solutions that drastically reduce energy and/or process-related carbon emissions, as well as waste from metals extraction and processing. Original research and reviews in topic areas such as carbon-neutral extraction, waste minimization and valorization are welcome.
