CASE STUDY #1:
Barreiro (Portugal)
Coord: 38.673543 N, -9.044215 E
Located near Lisbon, the Barreiro site benefits from the active involvement of the Barreiro Municipality, which is committed to exploring innovative uses for phosphogypsum. With promising business opportunities in circular economy solutions, the project aims to set an example for sustainable waste management practices in the region.CASE STUDY #6:
VENICE (ITALY)
Coord: 45.47 N 12.29 E
In Venice, the project investigates to reclaiming a phosphogypsum area through circular economy processes, with the possibility of testing a pilot plant that could lead to full-scale site restoration. This initiative aligns with regional goals for sustainable land management and underscores the project’s potential to positively impact the environment.
CASE STUDY #2
Kutina - DEFOS (Croatia)
Coord: 45.446548 N, 16.748955 E (WGS84)
The Kutina site in Croatia is well-regulated and maintained, providing a stable foundation for phosphogypsum valorisation. With clear ownership and a strong environmental commitment, the site is ideally positioned to pioneer new disposal technologies and commercial applications, enhancing the local economy through sustainable practices.CASE STUDY #3:
Prahovo (Serbia)
Coord: 44.282408 N, 22.611408 E
