The Special Issue comprises an in-depth introduction (editorial article) on the CRM challenge for materials under extreme conditions, followed by six chapters (co-authored articles) reviewing the major scientific and technological outcomes from the COST Action CRM-EXTREME for four strategic industrial sectors (energy, transportation, machinery manufacturing, and cutting tools) with a circular economy approach, and focusing on the guidelines for the synthesis, characterisation, modelling, testing, recycling and application of the new materials (such as ferrous and nonferrous alloys, composites, and nanomaterials) and new technologies (such as additive manufacturing and coatings). Each chapter summarises the state of play as at the end of the Action and identifies what further research is needed to progress to commercially viable systems that could be implemented on industries, and to what timetable.\u00a0The COST Action CA15102 CRM-EXTREME is the promoter of the Special Issue as dissemination activity, consistent within the Action Dissemination Plan, providing material not only for the scientist community, but also targeted at end-users and industrial stakeholders. For this reason, the Special Issue supports the more practical end-user objectives with more futuristic and speculative dissemination from the scientific community, designed to stimulate and guide further research.\u00a0Other contributions, from authors external the Action, are the wellcome, since we are conscious that the Action dimension and duration was not big and long enough to include most of the research on going in Europe and world wide on the challenge of CRMS Reduction, Substitution and Recovery.
