Implementation of the R&D results will help fulfil the need for economically viable and environmentally benign practices in European agriculture to move towards a more resource-efficient and circular economy. Biorefine Recycling The BIOREFINE project aims to provide innovative 1-5-2011 1-12-2015 Erik Meers project inorganic strategies for the recycling of inorganic chemicals from IVB & Eva chemicals agro- and bio-industry waste streams. It wants to NWE Clymans from maximally close nutrient cycles by minimizing residue and flows and economically valorising the minerals that can be recovered from these residue flows. In this way, the waste BIOREFINE project targets to reduce environmental streams pollution and the wasting of finite resources and thus to stimulate a sustainable and more bio-based economic growth. Eventually this should create a win-win situation for both the environment and the economy in the NWE region. BioRefine puts a lot of emphasis on cross-sectoral and international networking where the actions include support for the establishment of regional nutrient platforms and dialogue between the different networks. The project also identifies nutrient recovery techniques from different waste streams which would be most suited for quantitative and qualitative nutrient requirements of the market. Good practice techniques are explored at pilot scale and in demonstrations. In this respect, BioRefine is working with industrial operators who are implementing struvite recovery from different waste streams, for example Aquafin at municipal wastewater treatment works in Leuven, Belgium.
