The discussions centred on updated fertilising product regulations and evolving biodegradability criteria, particularly in the context of European requirements for materials used in soil applications. With increasing attention on microplastics and environmental persistence, clear testing standards and scientific validation are becoming essential for market access and compliance.
The visit combined technical presentations, laboratory tours and in-depth discussions between experts. Participants explored how biodegradability testing and material characterisation contribute to safer and more sustainable fertiliser products.
