ECN Feedback on the call for evidence regarding the Biotech Act II

The ECN welcomes the initiative of the Commission to extend the scope of the Biotech Act through a new Biotech Act II to include bio-based materials such as fertilisers.

To facilitate the deployment of compost and digestate derived from bio-waste and create lead market, ECN recommends to tackle regulatory bottlenecks and eliminate inconsistencies in the Fertilising Products Regulation and the Animal By-Product Regulation, to set recycled nutrients targets for fertilising products and peat replacement targets for growing media, and to provide financial support.
