Technical proposals for by-products and high purity materials as component materials for EU Fertilising Products

Author

Abstract

The Fertilising Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 lays down rules on the making available on the market of EU fertilising products. Article 42(7) of the Regulation sets the obligation for the Commission to adopt a delegated act to establish criteria on agronomic efficiency and safety of use of by-products in EU fertilising products. This JRC report develops and brings forward criteria proposals based on a thorough scientific and technical analysis. While assessing the safety and agronomic criteria needed for the use of by-products, the JRC also identified certain high purity materials derived from secondary raw materials with a high agronomic value that could be used as component materials in EU fertilising products. Therefore, criteria for additional component materials of EU Fertilising Products, entitled “recovered high purity materials”, were developed. The criteria proposals prioritise and limit the materials to certain components for EU Fertilising Products for which a knowledge base exists that shows that they (i) have a demonstrated agronomic efficiency, (ii) do not cause risks to the environment and/or human health, and (iii) can be expected to be subject to significant trade on the EU market. The criteria proposals form the technical basis to adopt two delegated Regulations to amend and introduce the requirements for by-products and high purity materials as Component Material Categories for EU Fertilising Products.
