Bio-Based Fertilizers from Wastewater
On 30 March 2025 (International Zero Waste Day), the WalNUT project – a circular model for nutrient recovery from wastewater to produce sustainable bio-based fertilizers – joined the campaign by highlighting its commitment to sustainable agricultural practices.
As reported by the European initiative, which has received funding from the EU, current farming practices threaten soil health through nutrient imbalances, leading to problems like soil degradation and nutrient loss. To tackle these challenges would require “innovative, sustainable approaches to reduce waste and use resources more effectively, aligned with the International Zero Waste Day principles and goals. The WalNUT project focuses on turning wastewater into a valuable resource.”
