Deliverables

Report on drivers and barriers regarding the replacement of conventional fertilisers by BBFs for all stakeholders in the value chain

Determining the real drivers and barriers guiding the overall attitude of opinion leaders of all sectors professional associations and NGOs towards BBFs by structured questionnaires and interviews in all covered Member States

Case study report on existing inter-regional and trans-boundary exchange of NRSS/BBFs

A comprehensive overview of the data on transboundary NRSSBBF flows and result in recommendations to improve data collection data usage and data consistency

Dataset of regional NRSS available for producing BBFs in the EU

The data collected on various NRSS quantitiesmasses and their nutrient contents will be processed into an easytouse database and digital maps providing easy access for BBFs manufactures and policymakers directing NRSS reuse M18 M30

Description of soil and BBFs characteristics affecting P leaching

P loss potential associated with BBF application is evaluated through literature mining soil analyses from large containers Task 21 and pots Task 31 and validated with rainfall simulation

Report on socio-economic impacts of current products and practices, incl. non-accounted externalities

Quantification of current fertilisation practices and the use of BBFs determining economic contributions and the value of the negative externalities in different settings and regions

Guideline document on project management, rules and time schedules to be distributed to all partners

Guideline document on project management rules and time schedules to be distributed to all partners

Portfolio of communication materials and the general project website
Report on NRSS potential to replace mineral N and P fertilisers in the EU

The potential of NRSS for replacing mineral N and P fertilisers is evaluated against sold mineral fertilisers across EU The potential of NRSS to substitute mineral N and P fertilisers will be quantified based on official statistics on current use of mineral fertilisers in relation to availability of NRSS

Policy roadmap

National meetings organised together with National Dissemination Forums will be held to understand the existing policies and map the options for the creation of a new one A policy roadmap will be created to gather all the conclusions from these meetings and to design a roadmap for future policy according to the project outputs

Synergy report and action plan

Possible synergies with other funded recycling projects at EU and national level as mentioned in section 133 are reached by contacting respective coordinators and a collaboration mechanism will be implemented crossdissemination of project activities and outputs joint participation as speakers to events coorganisation of events casebycase

Dissemination, communication and exploitation plan

Dissemination communication and exploitation plan covers the projects internal and external communication and dissemination actions including policies strategies means and responsibilities and is the reference document for all DEC implementation

Report on the legal restrictions for using BBFs in the EU

Legal barriers for the production and use of BBFs in the EU such as regulations aimed at limiting inputs of potentially harmful substances and nutrient oversupply will be identified and their importance for technology implementation and transfer and eventual mitigation actions in BBF use will be evaluated M20 M36

Review and assessment of published LCA studies

Screening nutrient recycling literature with numerous highly relevant contributions from consortium partners and other RIA projects for LCAs on BBFs and related manufacturing processes Investigating identified LCA studies of fertilising products from virgin and secondary raw materials and analysing the benefits and flaws of the selected system boundaries impact categories time horizon for toxicity assessments and cumulative emission factors

Continuously updated risk management plan which will be released for official documentation M1 M12 M24 M36 This document includes the original risk management plan and its updates

Report on the effect of BBFs on soil quality and C sequestration

Available information on the effects of BBFs on soil quality indicators such as soil organic C pH and waterholding capacity is collected by a thorough review of the literature and supplemented with analysis of samples from existing medium to longterm field experiments in order to link the BBF use with impacts on a range of soil quality parameters

Draft convention for comparable LCA studies of fertilising products manufactured from primary and secondary raw materials

A draft convention for making nutrient recycling LCAs comparable by directly consulting authors of other studies database authors and interested stakeholders

Project newsletters compiled

Project will publish its own project newsletter every 6 months minimum and sent to relevant stakeholders M6 M12 M18 M24 M30 M36 M42 M48 This is a compiled collection of the published newsletters
