Europe sets up marketplace to turn pollution into fertiliser

Europe has set up a marketplace to extract phosphorous, a pollutant that causes algae blooms in rivers, and re-use it as a fertiliser, turning pollution into a useful product. The project connects those who produce the waste with both technologists who can process it and farmers who can buy the fertiliser. In this way, it creates a market-driven means of cleaning up Europe's rivers and conserving resources of phosphorous, which is not renewable.
