Designed specifically for public authorities interested in innovative waste management solutions, this FERPLAY online workshop, organised by ACR+, aimed to empower local and regional authorities with the knowledge and tools to:

• Enhance the quality of biowaste collection to optimize its use in fertilizer production.
• Implement sustainable wastewater management practices to recover valuable nutrients.
• Promote the local production of circular fertilizers, supporting a greener, more sustainable future.

Presentations, interactive discussions, and recommendations from the FERPLAY project provided actionable insights to help public administrations adopt circular solutions effectively.
