The circular economy can boost profits in the water management sector, and at the same time provide farmers around the world with cheaper fertiliser, reports Ida Rambæk from Norway. Nutrients contained in wastewater, such as...
Mushroom cultivation results in more than three billion kilograms of waste per year in the EU. Now, researchers are transforming this waste into innovative products, such as foods, bioplastics and fertilisers. For every kilogram...
Nanoscale particles of the most commonly used plastics tend to move through the water supply, especially in fresh water, or settle out in wastewater treatment plants. We end up drinking a few grams of...
Sludge and ashes as paper mill residues can be used as effective fertiliser, according to new research. This involves carbon from organic material returned to the forest and thus closing the cycle. Biochar, or...
Smoke from fires in Africa may be the most important source of fertilizer in the Amazon rainforest, Tropical Atlantic and Southern oceans, a new study has found. The smoke is particularly rich in phosphorus....
In an effort to reduce agriculture emissions, researchers around Europe are finding ways to turn nutrient-rich farm waste such as chicken feathers and cow dung into eco-friendly fertiliser. According to an article in Horizon,...
Subterranean biodiversity can have a positive effect on the nutrient efficiency of maize and wheat, Zurich researchers have shown. Their discovery could lead to the reduction of the high costs associated with fertilisers. The...
