nutrient recovery
Nutrient recovery is the process of capturing and recycling essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from waste sources such as sewage or agricultural runoff. These nutrients are vital for plant growth, but when excess enters waterways, they can cause problems like algae blooms and water pollution. By recovering nutrients, we transform waste into useful products like fertilizers, reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources. This approach promotes sustainable waste management by closing nutrient loops, improving water quality, and supporting agriculture with recycled, safe nutrients.
