Currently there are several  market-ready techniques for the recycling of waste and recovery of nutrients, however recycling-derived fertilizers (RDFs) are not yet used extensively by farmers. ReNu2Farm aims to overcome these limitations and stimulate wide-spread recycling of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the primary food production chain. 

To this end, ReNu2Farm is conducting a survey that will help mapping all the installations/organisations involved in nutrient recycling activities in Europe. This information will be used to produce an inventory report on the currently employed technologies in the biomass processing sector. If you are involved in biomass processing, please take 5 minutes of your time to fill out the survey. By doing this you position yourself on the map of nutrient recycling in Europe! […]

The concept of circular economy is based on the idea of extending as much as possible the lifecycle of any product by reusing and recycling it. This reduces waste and production costs and has a positive environmental impact.  Closing the loop of the nutrient cycle is part of the concept of circular economy. At the moment, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, essential to life, are lost along the entire food chain. The introduction of nutrient recycling can change this and boost the bio-economy efforts in the EU.

With this idea in mind, the Biorefine Cluster Europe is putting in place the Nutrient Recycling Community. The group is beginning to take shape and we would like to share with you the next steps we are planning to take to build this community.
