The rules shaping circular nutrients
The transition to a circular economy requires not only technological innovation, but also regulatory frameworks that enable recovered resources to be used safely and effectively. As scientific knowledge and recycling technologies advance, legislation must evolve alongside them.
Recent progress, including the approval of recovered calcium phosphate for use in organic farming, demonstrates how regulation can help unlock new opportunities for circular resource use. At the same time, important barriers remain, making continued dialogue between industry, researchers and policymakers essential.
