FertiCovery

Challenge: There is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the efficiency of nutrient recovery technologies, as well as their agronomical and environmental impacts, leaving farmers without clear guidance on their application. Legal barriers further complicate matters, with uncertainty surrounding which fertilising products meet regulatory requirements. Moreover, the small-scale production of bio-based fertilisers leads to higher costs compared to conventional options.

Solution: Farmers and society can benefit from the circular use of alternative fertilising products recovered from secondary raw materials, as they lead to lower environmental impacts on soil, water, and air quality, biodiversity and climate. FertiCovery is supporting policy makers and practitioners to remove barriers and promote the application of nutrient recovery and bio-based fertilisers
