Circular Approaches to Phosphorus: from Research to deployment

The workshop organised by the European Commission (DG Research & Innovation), P-REX and ESPP on 4th March (at BAM, Berlin) brought together 80 participants and 28 nutrient recycling projects. Initiatives present included R&D and demonstration projects funded by the EU (FP7, LIFE+, InterReg) as well as national funded projects and industry initiatives. Below you can find the presentations from that day.
