This innovative process offers a sustainable solution for recovering phosphorus, an essential nutrient for plants that is used in conventional fertilizers.
The importance of such processes becomes even clearer in light of the upcoming legislative changes. From 2026, phosphorus recovery will be mandatory in Switzerland. This regulation is intended to ensure that phosphorus is used sustainably and efficiently in order to protect the environment and reduce dependence on imported phosphorus resources. From 2030, this regulation will be extended to the whole of Europe, which will further increase the demand for effective phosphorus recovery processes.
Our Leachphos process ensures that companies and municipalities are prepared for these legal requirements in good time. It not only enables compliance, but also provides a practical benefit through the production of a high quality fertilizer. As a result, it contributes to sustainable agriculture and a more efficient use of resources.
