RePhoR Webinar Series Launch – Registration Open
On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, the kick-off of the RePhoR webinar series will take place with the presentation of the legal opinion on the end-of-waste status of phosphorus recyclates. The legal opinion was prepared by KOPP-ASSENMACHER Rechtsanwälte as part of the BMBF funding guideline for Regional Phosphorus Recycling (RePhoR), which the FiW supports with the scientific transfer project TransPhoR. It analyzes the legal framework regulating the transition of phosphorus recyclates from waste status to product status. The entire recovery and recycling chain is examined, with particular focus on the specific requirements arising from the EU Fertilizer Regulation.
Another key focus is on industrial applications of phosphorus recyclates, for which there are currently no uniform regulations.
The legal opinion is available for download at the following link:
The RePhoR webinar series provides a platform for an illustrative presentation of results and practical experiences from the RePhoR joint projects, as well as the accompanying cross-cutting topics. The thematic spotlights offer practical insights, potentials, and challenges – including the transferability of results – to promote the utilization of outcomes and knowledge transfer. Following the presentations, further applications and possibilities will be discussed.
Starting in March 2025, several compact RePhoR webinars (lasting between one and 1.5 hours) will be offered. In the first half of 2025, the focus will be on the results of the cross-cutting topics; from the second half of 2025, experiences from the technical implementation of the joint projects will be presented.
The webinars are aimed at stakeholders from politics, regulatory authorities, municipalities, industry, academia, practitioners, and society. Participation is free of charge. Registration is possible at the following link:
