REACH and recycled nutrient products
European stakeholder associations EBA and Fachverband Biogas, with the support of German consulting company BiPRO, have written to the EU Commission requesting confirmation that anaerobic biogas digestate is exempted from REACH registration.

The recovery of useful products from wastewater and biosolids, including energy (from organic content by methanisation or other routes, heatpumps) and nutrients, is identified by WERF (Water Environment Research Foundation) subscribers as a key driver for new wastewater processes and technologies, and to help transition wastewater treatment facilities to become resource recovery factories or utilities of the future.
