A European Market for Circular Fertilisers 

On 10 April our partner Consorzio Italiano Compostatori hosted a successful seminar at the Waste Management Europe 2024 fair in Bergamo, Italy. The event, titled “A European Market for Circular Fertilisers,” brought together 63 participants both online and in person.  

Our discussions delved into the pressing concerns of circular fertiliser producers in Europe, with a particular focus on Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. This regulation, governing the market availability of EU fertilising products, presents significant challenges, which were thoroughly explored by different stakeholders (including the European Commission, Notified Bodies, Standards Bodies, and fertiliser producers.) 

The fruitful exchange of ideas surrounding the barriers and drivers for the development of a market for circular fertilisers in the EU left attendees feeling inspired. Thank you to all who participated!
