• Biomass and waste valorisation: research on the conversion of biomass, waste streams, and renewable feedstocks into chemicals, materials, and fuels, including biocatalysis, thermochemical conversion, and the integration of bio-based supply chains.生物质与废物资源化： 生物质、废物流与可再生原料向化学品、材料和燃料转化的研究，涵盖生物催化、热化学转化以及生物基供应链的整合等方向。
• Alternative energy and sustainability assessment: research on electrochemical energy storage and conversion, photovoltaic materials, hydrogen production, and life-cycle assessment and sustainability metrics that quantify the environmental performance of chemical and engineering processes.替代能源与可持续性评价： 电化学储能与转化、光伏材料、制氢以及量化化学与工程过程环境绩效的生命周期评价和可持续性指标等方向的研究。
• Article types: original research papers, reviews, perspectives, and editorials, with a requirement that contributions clearly demonstrate a sustainability advance such as improved resource efficiency, reduced waste or toxicity, or enhanced circularity and recyclability.栏目设置： 接受原创研究论文、综述、观点与社论，要求投稿明确展示可持续性进步，例如资源效率提升、废物或毒性降低，或循环性与可回收性增强。

History

• Founding: the journal was launched in 2013 by the American Chemical Society to address the growing need for a dedicated venue for research at the interface of chemistry, engineering, and sustainability.创刊： 该刊 2013 年由美国化学会创刊，旨在满足化学、工程与可持续性交叉领域研究对专门发表平台日益增长的需求。
• Editorial leadership: Peter Licence of the University of Nottingham has served as editor-in-chief, guiding the journal's scope and the expectations series that clarifies the sustainability contribution required for publication.编辑领导： 诺丁汉大学的彼得·利森斯（Peter Licence）担任主编，主导刊物范围以及阐明发表所需可持续性贡献的「期望」系列社论。
• Family expansion: the journal's success led to the launch of companion titles within the ACS Sustainable family, including ACS Sustainable Resource Management, reflecting the growth of sustainability research across disciplines.家族拓展： 该刊的成功推动了 ACS 可持续家族中配套刊物的创办，包括《ACS 可持续资源管理》，反映了可持续性研究在各学科的发展。

Editors

The editorial office comprises the editor-in-chief, executive editors, associate editors, and an editorial board, drawn from chemistry, materials science, and engineering worldwide:编辑部由主编、执行编辑、副编辑与编委会组成，成员来自全球化学、材料科学与工程领域：

• Editor-in-chief: Peter Licence, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham, whose research focuses on sustainable chemistry, ionic liquids, and the development of cleaner chemical processes.主编： 诺丁汉大学化学教授彼得·利森斯（Peter Licence），研究方向为可持续化学、离子液体以及清洁化学工艺的开发。
• Executive editors: dedicated executive editors cover the major areas of green chemistry, green engineering, biomass and waste valorisation, and alternative energy, ensuring that submissions are assessed by specialists in the relevant field.执行编辑： 设有覆盖绿色化学、绿色工程、生物质与废物资源化以及替代能源等主要方向的专职执行编辑，确保投稿由相关领域专家评估。
• Review model: manuscripts undergo single-blind peer review, with editors assessing the sustainability contribution alongside scientific quality before making a final decision.评审模式： 稿件进行单盲同行评审，编辑在做出最终决定前同时评估可持续性贡献与科学质量。
