Half of the phosphorus and nitrogen applied every year
to croplands in the EU comes from non-renewable sources.
In this linear process, a high percentage of valuable nutrients
are left unused, leading to pollution and contributing to greenhouse
gas emissions. If we can recover nutrients from biowaste (such as
animal manure, sewage sludge, food and feed waste) and reuse them
on croplands we can reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
at the same time as contributing to agriculture’s transition to a
circular economy.
Nutrients are extracted from
non-renewable sources
Crops are then grown
using these these
extracted nutrients
Nutrients in the resulting biowaste
end up contributing to greenhouse
gas emissions and to the pollution
of our air, soil and water.

The biowaste is taken to
a biogas and nutrient
recovery plant which
transforms the waste into
nutrients for fertilising
crops and renewable
energy to power our
homes and businesses.P
