Nutrient recovery & recycling technologies – State of play

The FertiCovery project focuses on nutrient recovery and the production of fertilisers from biowaste, manure and wastewater. It identifies the best available technologies for recycling fertilisers from secondary raw materials and helps policymakers and stakeholders remove barriers and adopt alternative fertilising products.

Its goal is to describe and assess 25 nutrient recovery and biobased fertiliser technologies, including their feedstocks, value chains, products and applications. The analysis covers technical and environmental performance, feedstock availability, upscaling potential, regulatory frameworks, costs, social risks and replication potential.

They are organised a workshop bringing together project partners and stakeholders to review, discuss and validate the final list of Technical Assessment Indicators and Environmental Assessment Indicators. The list will serve as the basis for benchmarking nutrient recycling and biobased fertiliser production technologies.

The workshop will focus on aligning the assessment approach and selecting the most relevant indicators for the multi-criteria comparison of nutrient recycling and biobased fertiliser technologies. Contributions from stakeholders will be collected to refine the indicator list and rating system.

This online workshop will take place in English at 10:00–11:30 CET on 19 February. Registration.
