Fertilisers

The use of industrial by-products for fertilisation and soil improvement combines tradition and innovation. While the energy-intensive production of mineral fertilisers is increasingly questioned, the use of by-products as fertilisers has a long history – and is more relevant today than ever. Well-known examples such as Thomas phosphate and converter lime from steel production, carbonation lime from sugar beet processing, or slurry from livestock farming demonstrate the potential of these sustainable alternatives.

BaeckTrade has developed particular expertise in this field. Drawing on decades of experience, we systematically identify and assess industrial by-products and material streams for their suitability as fertilisers. Our special know-how lies in the intelligent combination of different material streams, from which we develop tailored fertilisers and fertiliser components for a wide range of applications – successfully establishing them on both European and international markets.

The use of our products offers multiple benefits to fertiliser producers and farmers alike: in addition to significant cost savings on fertilisation, they actively contribute to closing nutrient cycles – an essential contribution to sustainable agriculture.

Quality and safety are paramount in all our products. Continuous, production-accompanying quality control ensures that our fertilisers reliably comply with all legal requirements. We are particularly proud that part of our product range is approved for organic farming – testament to the high quality and environmental compatibility of our products.
