Together with prominent research and technology partners, the Foundation works to find ways to remove phosphorus from lakes and recycle this limited natural resource, a crucial element in food production.
The Circular Phosphorus Recovery Seminar takes place on 22 and 23 May at the Technical University of Denmark and is open to the public. Participate online (see below) or contact Project Manager Ole Wolff if you wish to participate in person.
