Partners

For realising our first plant, we partner with the sewage sludge incinerator SNB and with Bilfinger Engineering. Our commitment to transform phosphate waste into sustainable products is the core of our partnership.

Together we will realise the first phosphate recycling plant in the Netherlands (in Moerdijk), ­

and will continue to realise other plants in the future together to realise a truly sustainable phosphate industry.
