Pollution of the Baltic Sea continues to be a problem. The biggest terrestrial sources of nutrient emissions to the Baltic Sea are agriculture and wastewater. BONUS RETURN is currently conducting two systematic maps to collate and describe evidence on eco-technologies that are available to help recover phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon from wastewater and agriculture.
It is necessary to capture as much phosphorus as possible to keep it on land and not in the Baltic Sea, as it is an important resource for food production
We can alter the phosphorus chain by making sure phosphorus is diverted back to agricultural fields instead of ending up in the sea.

Reusing treated sewage sludge in agriculture can make sound economic and environmental sense. But as history shows, even the safest reuse technologies need to win over hearts as well as minds.

Located in south-eastern Sweden, Fyrisån is a tributary of lake Mälaren, which has its outlet through Stockholm into the Baltic Sea. Uppsala’s wastewater treatment plant discharges purified wastewater into the river, then water is pumped from Fyrisån and into the groundwater reservoir to replenish it.
