Technologies for nutrient recovery

Working Group led by FERTIMANURE

This working group focuses on revising and discussing innovative technological approaches for recovering nutrients from different side streams. It aims to boost collaboration among different projects by sharing their scientific findings, bottlenecks and limitations identified, solutions and cases of success.

Sustainability assessment (environmental, economic and social)

Working Group led by Novafert

Projects in this working group cooperate towards finding common approaches for assessing sustainability aspects of the technologies and recovered nutrients. In this regard, efforts are made to discuss common goals, scopes and methodological choices for developing coherent life cycle inventories.

OUTCOMES

Agronomic performance of fertilising products

Working Group led by LEX4BIO

This working group aims to gather all the knowledge related to assessing the agronomic performance of fertilising products, including laboratory and field testing. Discussion on methodologies used, analysis done, quality assessment etc., are relevant aspects of its activities.

 

Upcoming activities:

Policy

Working Group led by ReNu2Cycle

This group aims to thoroughly analyse the regulatory framework affecting the practical use, application and commercialisation of potentially recovered products. Identifying regulatory bottlenecks and potential solutions is expected to work on preparing joint position papers of the projects participating in reaching policymakers and regulatory stakeholders.
