The Use of Waste to Produce Liquid Fertilizers in Terms of Sustainable Development and Energy Consumption in the Fertilizer Industry—A Case Study from Poland

The topical challenge for the Polish, European, and global fertilizer industry is to produce sufficient nutrients growing plants using more energy-efficient environmentally friendly methods. appropriate course of action, in terms challenges posed, could be production liquid fertilizers, made from waste materials that exhibit properties. This solution makes it possible not only reduce exploitation natural resources but above all, implement elements a circular economy energy intensity industry. study shows both Poland European Union, there are current regulations aimed at indicating need obtain fertilizers containing valuable plant organic or recycled materials. recognition carried out Polish market clearly indicates soil conditioners, most used digestate fermentation process. preparation organic–mineral mainly based on algae extracts. Mine minerals mineral–liquid fertilizers. An analysis data has shown above-mentioned materials, as substrates contain chemical substances important for, among other things, stimulation proper development, growth aboveground underground parts plants, increased resistance diseases pests, regulation water management. Referring information, seems reasonable an alternative mineral–solid whose process energy-intensive produces air emissions. Detailed identification properties various components demonstrate their usefulness fertilizing soils, also emphasize importance this line research look groups reuse within framework economy.
