On October 5, the Interreg NWE projects ReNu2Cycle and BioBoost-Pro co host an expert workshop on nutrient recycling and organic fertilisers in Rotenburg (DE)
The focus of the workshop will be on the production and application of recycled fertilisers, current results from field and pot trials, and experiences from the Living Labs of both projects. Successful practical examples from Germany, Luxembourg, Ireland, Belgium, and France, among others, will be presented. In addition, current political and regulatory developments — including the EU Fertilizer Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, FPR), phosphorus recovery, nitrogen recycling, and RENURE (REcovered Nitrogen from manURE) — as well as their significance for the future market introduction of recycled fertilizers will be examined.
The event aims to bring together stakeholders from academia, agriculture, industry, politics, and government to discuss innovative solutions for a sustainable and circular nutrient economy.
In addition to expert presentations, the workshop is designed to provide plenty of opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange and networking among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Together, participants will have the opportunity to discuss opportunities, challenges, and potential solutions for the use of recycled nutrients in agriculture and provide inputs for the further development of a circular bioeconomy.
