Phosphorus is a critical resource for all food production – but also one of the main causes of eutrophication in lakes and seas. At the same time, phosphorus is a finite raw material that the EU identifies as strategically important for future food security.
DiaPure has developed a solution that both protects water environments and enables the recovery of phosphorus in a circular system.
Phosphorus – a critical resource
Phosphorus is essential for all living organisms. Without phosphorus, plant growth, food production and large parts of our ecosystems would come to a halt. Today, we rely on imported mineral phosphorus, while large amounts are lost every day through wastewater.
Recovering phosphorus locally is one of the most effective ways to both protect the environment and reduce dependence on finite resources.
EU legislation drives sustainable phosphorus management
EU water and environmental legislation is placing increasing demands on reduced phosphorus loads, improved water quality and the recovery of nutrients. For municipalities and businesses, this creates a need for solutions that not only treat water but also contribute to circular resource management.
DiaPure is developed in line with these requirements and supports efforts to achieve both national and European environmental targets.
Environmental protection and biodiversity
The Baltic Sea and many of our lakes and waterways are currently affected by eutrophication caused by phosphorus and nitrogen. This leads to algal blooms, oxygen depletion and loss of biodiversity. Fish, mussels, insects and birdlife are affected – as are ecosystems on land.
By reducing phosphorus emissions locally, significant environmental benefits can be achieved. Protecting water environments starts close to the source.
