The scientific programme of SUM 2022 included more than 190 presentations selected by the Symposium Committees. 
The presentations have been organized in Oral sessions, Workshops and Poster sessions. Oral sessions lasted 60 min and included 4 presentations (40 min) and a Discussion. Workshops were focused on controversial issues in Circular Economy; they included few introductory short papers for seeding the debate among participants.
