Acknowledgement

The International Conference Recycling is a regular meeting that, every two years, brings together contributions from scholars, researchers, practitioners, and operators from the world of production: they constitute a multitude of viewpoints, relating to recycling issues, that describe a current panorama that is at the centre of international policies.

For this appointment to be repeated, sincere and heartfelt thanks go to all those who made themselves available for the event’s success and for the editing of this volume, starting with the young members of the Organising Committee. At the same time, thanks are due to the Scientific Committee, that is wider in each edition, attracting personalities of international standings, in recycling sector.

The members’ group of the Scientific Committee, undoubtedly constituted the cultural framework within which the contributions of the numerous authors could be installed, enriching the volume: special thanks are addressed to the latter, with reference to the young researchers who, in this edition, are particularly numerous. Finally, sincere thanks go to the Director of the Architecture Department Giovanni Longobardi who facilitated every organisational phase, along with the administrative staff who made their management and operational skills available.

The appointment, already set for spring 2025, will be an opportunity for fruitful encounters and comparisons, under the banner of interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral exchange, with the awareness, acquired also in this edition, that it can be protagonists of innovation.
