The P2Green Online Workshop in Italy was held on the 25th of June 2024 and hosted by Project partners IRIDRA. It gathered stakeholders to discuss the potential and feasibility of the P2GreeN project solutions for recycling nutrients from human excreta, both from wastewater and source-separated human urine, for use as fertiliser or compost, and strategies to promote the European Bioeconomy Strategy in Italy.
Discussion Highlights:
- Beyond CO2: We delved into anthropogenic alterations of biogeochemical cycles beyond carbon, emphasizing the importance of holistic environmental strategies.
- Phosphorus as a Critical Raw Material: We examined the European and Italian Platforms of Phosphorus, highlighting its crucial role in sustainable agriculture and industry.
Round Table Insights:
- Nutrient Recovery from End-of-Pipe Supply Chain: Experts discussed the latest technologies and strategies for nutrient recovery at the end of the waste management process.
- Source Separation of Human Excreta: Innovative approaches to source-separating human excreta for nutrient recovery were explored, demonstrating promising potential for sustainable fertilizer or compost production.
This workshop marks a significant step towards promoting the European Bioeconomy Strategy in Italy.
