The ESPP stakeholder meeting, Brussels, 5th September, showed a shared concern that the new EU Fertilisers Regulation be rapidly finalised and satisfaction with progress on many questions on STRUBIAS criteria (for recovered phosphate salts, ashes, biochars). Presentations by Fertilisers Europe (mineral fertilisers), ECOFI (organo-mineral fertilisers), Growing Media Europe and EFPRA (animal by products) outlined the importance of the new Fertilisers Regulation for the Circular Economy, progress made, and the need to resolve some outstanding questions (by-products, conformity assessment procedures, …).
