Survey on Waste Water-based Nutrient Recovery products as Bio-based fertilizers 
Sign in to Google to save your progress. Learn more
This survey concerns:
i) the incorporation of recovered (i.e. valorized) nutrients from urban WW and sewage sludge, agri - food and industrial WW and brine as macro- or micro-nutrients for the manufacturing of Bio-based fertilizers 
and
ii) the valorisation of products deriving from the treatment of urban WW and sewage sludge, agri - food and industrial WW and brine, as Bio-based fertilizers 

* Bio-based fertilizers are not to be confused with animal metabolism products - derived fertilizers

Proposed motives for the implementation of Nutrient Recovery practices
Actors: WW producers - WW aggregators - Technology providers
This has been successfully implemented
There is a MS plan towards this direction
An attempt has already been made to implement and failed
This measure is not feasible
Direct help - financial assistance into scaling-up innovative NR Technologies investment (CAPEX / OPEX)
Strategy development for long-term supply stability
Financial support of the implementation of NR practices that requires a high technological and capital investment.
If several WW treatment plants/units recover the same nutrient, value-chain development could be facilitated by acting as one supplier of the recovered nutrient, thus increasing their collective market power.
Strategy development for coordination of Network and Research
Academia-End-users-Industry involvement and coordination to ensure scientific collaboration, promote NR approaches and technologies and avoid duplication
Strategy development to speed innovation-product development and implementation of new technologies
Research support (funding, pilot projects)
Proposed motives for the utilization of Recovered Nutrients and WW-based Nutrient Recovery products as Bio-based fertilisers
Actors: End-users of WW-based Nutrient Recovery products as Bio-based fertilizers (i.e. Fertilizer manufacturers – Agricultural associations – Farmers)
This has been successfully implemented
There is a MS plan towards this direction
An attempt has already been made to implement and failed
This measure is not feasible
Consumer information/education on nutrients from NR practices, to create demand
Strategy development for long-term fertilizer security - Enactment of fertilizer compliance / certification entities
Development of a farmer’s rewarding system (e.g. tax exemption) for application of WW-based BBF in EU-27 soil
Enactment of minimum content of Recovered nutrients in blend
Enactment of minimum on-field BBF dosages
Involvement of non-governmental organisations
Development of a nutrient management-transportation network
Assist farmers in addressing soil amendment needs
Financial support of logistical issues (transportation from NR source to BBF market)
Increase liability in certification procedures
Proposed motives for the implementation of Nutrient Recovery practices
Actors: Policy makers
This has been successfully implemented
There is a MS plan towards this direction
An attempt has already been made to implement and failed
This measure is not feasible
Enactment of circular economy Regulation: Obligation to recover nutrients from WW streams.
Enactment of circular economy Regulation: Obligation of fertilizer manufacturing companies to include certain amount of WW recovered nutrients to recover nutrients from WW streams.
Job creation in the NR/WWT circle
Obligation in the use of recovered nutrients first instead of mineral.
Tax on the use of non renewable sources for fertilizers
Enactment of stricter WW disposal criteria will increase the number of WW treatment facilities to then upgrade to NR practices
Do you have any additional comments, suggestions or questions on Nutrient Recovery and valorization of WW streams for Bio-fertilization purposes?
Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate your time towards the spread of Nutrient Recovery awareness!
We would love to hear from you via info@walnutproject.eu.
