Nutrient Platform Member Meeting
The Nutrient Platform, initiated and hosted by the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP), is a cross-sectoral network of Dutch organisations that believes in a pragmatic approach towards nutrient recycling. Frontrunners from the water sector, agriculture, waste sector and chemical industry have joined forces to close nutrient cycles.
The members of the Nutrient Platform are working with the Government, knowledge institutes and NGOs to create a market for recycled nutrients, thereby accelerating the transition towards sustainable nutrient management. The next Member meeting will take place on 26 February 2026. The meeting will be held in Dutch, registration is required.
Nutrient Platform members meeting
The Nutrient Platform will host its first member meeting of the year at Van der Knaap in Honselersdijk. This meeting will place Nutrient Platform members centre stage, offering space to share insights, experiences, and initiatives from within the network.
Together, we will look ahead to 2026 and explore how effective collaboration can help us further strengthen impact and cooperation within the nutrient and water sectors. The meeting will conclude with the opportunity to register for a guided tour at Van der Knaap.
The upcoming Member Meeting is by invitation only for the members of the Nutrient Platform. However, if you are interested to attend as a guest or to become a member, please contact NWP colleague Jorn Baan Hofman or click here for more information. The Member meeting will be held in Dutch.
Nutrient Platform
While the global demand for phosphorus and other nutrients is increasing, the reserves are decreasing. Furthermore, the reserves are concentrated in only a handful of countries. The potential impact on worldwide food security is enormous. The Nutrient Platform is made up of some 25 Dutch organisations representing businesses, knowledge institutes, NGO's and the government. Their shared objective is to create a market for recycled nutrients.
Above all, the Nutrient Platform aims to turn the surplus of phosphorus in the Netherlands into an opportunity. This surplus, mainly caused by our intensive livestock system, leads to environmental problems. Recovering phosphorus from the ‘waste’ streams and turning it into valuable new products not only protects the environment, but also closes the phosphorus cycle.
