Project: Closing nutrient cycles from

municipal and industrial waste water

In this cross-sectoral project within the TKI Watertechnologie and TKI Agri & Food, are the research partners WUR/WENR, KWR and LeAF working together with a broad range of partners from the public and private sector, on closing the nutrient cycles of communal waste water and industrial waste water. The consortium leader is the Nutrient Platform, an initiative of the Netherlands Water Partnership.

Within 9 diverse cases (of which 5 municipal waste water and four industrial waste water) is being worked on mapping the recyclable fertilisers (quantitative and qualitative), their agronomic value and the potential market opportunities. Overarching work is being done on a quality system with criteria based on which recycled fertilizers can be assessed.
