Phosphorus recovery a game of snakes and ladders.

Research into improving phosphorus recovery and overall use efficiency remains urgent in the face ongoing and future supply and price volatility, says Lincoln University Professor of Biogeochemistry Leo Condron.

His work on recovering and recycling existing phosphorus addresses worldwide concern that finite reserves of readily accessible but non-renewable phosphate rock are being steadily exhausted as demand continues to increase.

He believes efforts to improve phosphorus use efficiency and recycling of phosphorus in waste will potentially benefit both phosphorus rich and phosphorus poor parts of the world.
