Phosphorus:
essential,
non substitutable,
non renewable
Use of phosphate rock
www.aguiaresources.com.au
3. ISWA – EESC Circular Economy and Biowastes, 14th Nov.2016 - 3
www.phosphorusplatform.eu
Phosphate rock is on EU Critical Raw Materials list
- Linked to world food security and price instability
- Europe > 90% dependent on imports
- Geo-political concentration of reserves
Without phosphate fertilisers we
could feed around 1/5 of the world
population

Environmental impacts
- Eutrophication
-Ammonia emissions
- Planetary boundaries
Phosphorus is the first cause of

quality failure (other than morphology)

Phosphorus recycling
A long history
6. ISWA – EESC Circular Economy and Biowastes, 14th Nov.2016 - 6
www.phosphorusplatform.eu
New solutions for today’s world
- only 40% of EU sewage now goes to crops
- increasing concentration of livestock manures
- new potential nutrient recovery feedstocks:
food wastes,bio-energy,food processing …

Biodegradable solid waste 130 38 92
Meat & bone meal 128 6 122
Total 427-555 153-160 274-396
Manure recycling = 1 736
