Within the circular economy ambitions of the European Commission, a new Regulation for fertilising products has come into force on 16th July 2022. The scope of this regulation has been extended to include organic fertilisers, soil improvers and growing media and biostimulants for plants. It is intended to open the internal EU market to organic and recycling derived fertilising products.
In the underlying report the changes, chances and challenges of the new legislative framework for the marketing and use of organic and recycling-derived fertilising (RDF) products are discussed.
The focus in this study has been on those organic and recycling derived products and
materials that have been considered in the NWE interreg project ReNu2Farm. These
include struvites, ashes, composts, digestates, liquid N-products derived from manure
treatment and ammonium salts recovered from off-gasses.
