Increase nutrient recycling from the selected bio-waste streams by up to 70% through the optimisation and demonstration of novel technologies for fertilising ingredients production
Prevent the presence of microplastics (MP) in soil through advanced bio-based, biodegradable, and biocompatible materials as coatings for Controlled-Release Fertilisers (CRFs) that are harmless to the soil microbiome
Reduce nutrient losses by up to 60% and nutrient inputs to soil by up to 30% through the optimisation and pre-industrial scale production of controlled-release, growth stage targeted, and biostimulant-doped BBFs
Establish local and cost-effective circular supply chains to produce BBFs that increase resource efficiency and decrease reliance on imported materials by up to 20%
Follow a transdisciplinary, multi-actor approach with active stakeholder engagement and co-creation to ensure industrial uptake and social acceptance
Accelerate the transition towards bio-based fertilisers
