3. European
Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
(ESPP)
Vienna 2/10/2015 - n°21 European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
ESPP launched 2013, to address all aspects
of phosphorus sustainability • P resources, mining, processing
• P recycling (re-use, recovery)
• P use efficiency in crop & animal production
• Environmental impacts of P-losses
• Sustainable and safe food chain, from farm to
diet
• Bio-nutrients in the circular economy
Vienna 2/10/2015 - n°22 European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
A coalition for action • Bring together industry, R&D, public authorities,
stakeholders
• Shared vision for sustainable phosphorus in Europe
• Dialogue & networking of expertise and experience (= priority identified by ESPP members)
• Awareness building
• Access policy & regulatory developments
• Dissemination of innovation, business cases, value
chains
Vienna 2/10/2015 - n°23 European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
ESPP after two years
• wide range of industry members: fertilisers, chemicals,
technology suppliers, water industry, waste sector
• work with R&D projects (ESPP = dissemination partner)
• informal links farmers&environmental organisations
