Key work activities and main achievements of the project so far are:
• Fully implemented and demonstrated the nutrient capture of N & P, and circular reuse at rural/coastal and urban/industrial interfaces in 3 pilot regions (GER, SWE, ESP)
• Established standardized data collection and finished LCA modelling applicable to all pilot regions allowing for coherent data collection and analysis across the different geographical conditions in the field trials thus enabling the pilot regions to show and provide evidence that the implemented circular nutrient capture and reuse technologies halt and prevent N&P pollution
• Implemented 4 different technological solutions in the pilot regions that convert human waste streams into safe bio-based fertiliser, validation via agricultural production of barley, rye, buckwheat, mango and avocados thus demonstrating balanced N/P flows
• Developed 4 tailor-made business models, and identified key enabling drivers for circular value chains as a foundation for blueprints contributing to the replicability in the project regions and beyond
• Conducted multiple workshops, focus groups, interviews with relevant stakeholders along the waste-water-food nexus across all pilot and follower regions to identify key criteria as well as gaps for the establishment of successful governance frameworks
• Created a toolbox for awareness raising
• Performed an analysis of the current urban planning framework, local challenges, and opportunities for all pilots as a basis for upscaling in the pilot regions and beyond
• Delivered a scoping review that identifies and comprehends the broader legal and regulatory frameworks that govern from fork to farm and fork again
• Delivered a report that sums up the results about the benchmark of governance frameworks adopted in existing European projects related to circular N & P solutions
• Developed a network hub that contains more than 600 key stakeholders across the EU and ongoing networking and clustering activities across Europe, e.g. as an active member of ESPP and CCRI
• Contribution to the review and development of relevant EU strategies and policies (CEA, FPR, Bioeconomy Strategy)
• Completed the feasibility study in Hungary and progressed with the feasibility studies in France, Greece and Italy
• Ongoing publication of project results via P2GreeN’s Innovation Platform for P2GreeN stakeholders
• Design of target group specific communication material based on the P2GreeN’s results and distribute them across social media, website and physical events.
• Developed an Exploitation Roadmap to maximise project impact
