Christian is important for German phosphorus recovery

He has solid experience of phosphorus recovery – and is passionate about implementation of the circular economy. Christian Kabbe is CEO of Ragn-Sells´ innovation company EasyMining in Germany and thus plays an important role for phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge in the country, for which the company has a unique patented technology.

After Switzerland, Germany is the second country in the world to have legislated to recover phosphorus from sewage sludge and sludge ashes.

The Sweden-based innovation company EasyMining’s patented technology for phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge is important for the German market. A branch has consequently been set up in Berlin, where Christian Kabbe is CEO.
