Who we are

Division of Biogenic Raw Materials conducts research in the field of environmental management and engineering as well as biotechnology. A special area of interest are issues related to sustainable and circular management of fertilizer resources (phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium) in order to optimize the use of fertilizer components at the local, regional, national and international levels, while limiting the dispersion of fertilizer raw materials that may have a negative impact on the environment.

Our services

Division of Biogenic Raw Materials performs comprehensive work in the field of:

  • development of recommendations (road maps) for sustainable and circular management of raw materials from primary and secondary sources,
  • development of strategies for preventing food waste at the stages of production and consumption,
  • development of recommendations (road maps) for the implementation of the European Green Deal in the raw materials, water and sewage, fertilizer and agri-food sectors,
  • development of the concept of environmentally safe fertilizers based on model studies on the transfer of phosphates and nitrates to surface waters and soils,
  • identification and evaluation of fertilizer potential in the field of single and multi-component mineral fertilizers produced on the basis of waste (municipal and industrial sewage, sewage sludge, bottom sediments of water reservoirs, soils saturated with nutrients, waste from the agri-food sector and others),
  • assessment of technological, legal, environmental and social aspects of the management of biogenic raw materials,
  • developing strategies to protect waters against contamination with biogenic raw materials from anthropogenic sources and defining directions of counteracting the process of eutrophication,
  • characteristics of new materials (including nanomaterials) that may be used in municipal and industrial wastewater and soils treatment processes.
