The European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP) is dedicated to addressing the critical issues surrounding the sustainability of phosphorus resources. Phosphorus is an essential resource for agriculture and food production, as well as for various industrial and technical applications. However, the world's phosphate resources are finite, and there is ongoing debate about their availability and concentration.

ESPP aims to promote phosphorus stewardship by improving the efficiency of phosphorus processing and its use in industry, agriculture, food processing, and diet. The platform focuses on strategies for reuse, recovery, and recycling of phosphorus to save costs, reduce nutrient pollution, and foster employment in the circular economy. ESPP facilitates knowledge sharing, experience transfer, and networking among stakeholders in the phosphorus management field.

The platform engages in discussions with market players, stakeholders, and regulators to address regulatory obstacles and contribute to policy proposals. ESPP also circulates information through newsletters, conferences, publications, and its website. ESPP's members represent various actors across the phosphorus stewardship value chain, including mining and processing, water and waste treatment, food and agriculture, innovation and technology providers, NGOs, and government organizations.

For those interested in sustainable nutrient management, ESPP offers opportunities to participate in the platform's activities and network by becoming a member.
