Project description

That the European Commission's Circular Economy Action Plan of 2 December 2015 proposes the reuse of raw materials, including nutrients; that the processing of nutrients from residual flows and manure in Flanders is now only partly focused on nutrient recovery; that Flanders is researching and developing technologies for nutrient recovery: that further development and upscaling of these technologies is necessary; that a platform with members from the business world, research institutions, sector organizations and the government can accelerate the exchange of knowledge and the start-up of new projects.
