Optimising ash logistics for phosphorus recovery
This summer, EasyMining welcomes Max Lundeberg as our summer trainee, focusing on optimising logistics and data management for sewage sludge ash - the key raw material in EasyMining’s Ash2Phos process.
12 Jun 2025The internship project, named Ashtrac – Data and Logistics for Ash Recovery, is designed to support EasyMining’s preparations for the upcoming Ash2Phos plants in Germany and Sweden, both of which will require around 30,000 tons of sewage sludge ash annually to recover phosphorus and produce high-purity products such as RevoCaP.
– It’s exciting to be part of a project that contributes to the circular economy on such a practical level. Ash2Phos is a real innovation, and I’m looking forward to supporting its implementation through improved logistics and data mapping, says Max Lundeberg.
Mapping Europe’s ash potential
As part of the project, Max will map and compile potential SSA sources across the EU - with a particular focus on Germany - evaluate transport routes and modes of delivery to the plants, and collaborate with EasyMining’s R&D department to build a structured ash database.
The work includes analysing existing data, identifying gaps, and reaching out to relevant stakeholders for new insights.
– I’m particularly interested in how data and logistics intersect in circular material flows. Being able to contribute to a project that brings together sustainability, transport, and digitalisation is both rewarding and highly relevant for my studies, Max adds.
Currently studying logistics and data management, Max brings a strong interest in sustainability and resource recovery to the team.
- We’re very happy to have Max on board this summer, and we look forward to seeing the impact of his work on future phosphorus recovery operations, says Sara Stiernström Product Manager at EasyMining.
