Can Construction Waste Feed the World?
Construction and industrial waste streams contain millions of tonnes of sulfate, a critical but often overlooked input for premium fertilisers. Vateris has developed a platform that transforms waste gypsum into high-purity sulfate for fertiliser production while permanently storing captured CO₂. By creating value from waste, the technology addresses three major global challenges simultaneously: waste management, agricultural resilience and decarbonisation. This session will explore the market opportunity for circular fertilisers, the economics of converting low-value waste into high-value products and how carbon mineralisation can unlock scalable climate and commercial impact.
