European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
ESPP: a coalition for action • ESPP launched in 2013, has brought together now 37
partners from business, science, governments • Shared vision for sustainable phosphorus in Europe • Dialogue & networking & awareness • Access to policy & regulatory developments • Dissemination of innovation, business cases, value chains

European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform
Broad support for ESPP and Phosphorus due to wide range of drivers/perspectives:
• Synergies in environmental goals:
• reducing nutrient losses in value chain (water quality/eutrophication; sustainable mining, processing, farm, diet)
• nutrients/biogas recycling • precision (crop) farming; restoring soil organic carbon
• Reducing costs: resulting in higher net income for farmers • Less primary resources: < import dependency (phosphate rock, natural gas)
• Distributed employment: > nutrient recycling in biomass, sewage, manure in rural areas
• Innovation: EU world leader in technologies, quality, systems

ESPP action – regulatory developments • EU Fertiliser Regulation recast: taking recovered nutrient products into account • EU fertiliser criteria development (JRC) :
- ESPP drafts for struvite, biomass ashes and (underway) biochars • Nitrates Directive: “processed manure” • Organic Farming Regulation: proposed validation of recycled P products • REACH (EU chemicals regulation):
- Art 2(7)d “recovered” substances/by-products - digestates
• BAT BREFs (Industrial Emissions Directive): - pig & poultry production - large combustion plants – waste incineration – food, drink & milk - proposed “Resource Efficiency” BREF
• BEMPs: EMAS (EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme Regulation) “agriculture” • EIP-AGRI Focus Group proposal: agronomic use of recovered nutrient products • Standards: CEN SABE position paper on P-recycling, ISO 275

ESPP action – innovation, R&D and data • Input to defining future Horizon 2020 work programs • DONUTSS: data on nutrients to support stewardship http://phosphorusplatform.eu/donutss
- decision support for industry, policy making and monitoring, investment - incite establishment of nutrient observatories or systems
• EU Commission DG Research: joint workshop on P-recovery from R&D to market, conclusions published by EU http://bookshop.europa.eu/en/circular-approaches-tophosphorus-pbKI0115204/
• Inventory of R&D projects: online ESPP website • Linking R&D/resource recovery networks: IWA, WssTP, ARREAU, BioRefine • R&D Projects: dissemination partner, expert advisory committee
• Dissemination: Newsletter, website … • Implementation: ESPP industry members,
EU industry federations, agriculture/users …
