Water, food and resource scarcity, alongside increasing waste are among the main challenges humanity will face in the years to come. To take advantage of the waste, European researchers have come up with a novel nutrient management solution.
Biowaste – the waste generated from different biobased sources – accounts for around 20 % of the waste produced in the EU and can serve as a potential resource of valuable chemical compounds, supporting a circular economy. Therefore, biowaste valorisation is considered an alternative, attractive approach in waste management policies.
