BONUS RETURN – reducing emissions by turning nutrients and carbon into benefits – identifies and pilots economically and environmentally efficient technologies. The solutions are socially and politically equitable, contributing to win-win solutions that address interlinked challenges in the Baltic Sea region.

Other publication / The BONUS RETURN project was exploring the reduction of emissions to the Baltic Sea from agriculture and wastewater.
Past event / Welcome to the BONUS RETURN project's final conference where results, conclusions and recommendations will be presented.
Perspective / Karina Barquet reflects on lessons learned through her work addressing issues confronting the Baltic Sea region in the BONUS RETURN project.
Press release / Launch of documentary film produced by SEI through the EU co-funded project BONUS RETURN on innovations for recycling nutrients from agriculture and wastewater.
SEI brief / This brief highlights the potential for upscaling gypsum use in the Baltic Sea Region as a promising component of Baltic Sea protection actions.
SEI brief / This brief looks at how the Słupsk Bioenergy Cluster serves as a living laboratory for small cities seeking to transition to a circular economy model.
SEI brief / This brief examines the impact of national policy directives on speeding up the circular economy transition, and their implications on cities such as Uppsala.
Past event / Ecotechnologies can turn carbon and nutrients into benefits. What would the circular management of nutrients look like in the Baltic Sea Region?
Journal article / This open-access study argues that there is considerable potential to develop a circular economy in phosphorus, but policy support and new research is needed.
SEI brief / This policy brief responds to the recent government inquiry into phosphorus recycling and the future of agricultural use of sewage sludge in Sweden.
Feature / A circular phosphorus economy is vital to contribute to food security in the EU, but there are still substantial barriers to making this a reality.
Journal article / Get the protocol for an upcoming systematic review on ecotechnology effectiveness for recovery and reuse of nitrogen and phosphorus from agriculture.
Journal article / A systematic map protocol for a study of evidence on ecotechnologies for recovery and reuse of carbon and nutrients.
Feature / It is important to improve how we capture and reuse phosphorus. It should be on land to produce food rather than letting it enter the sea where it causes harm.
Journal article / This systematic map identifies studies on ecotechnologies for reusing carbon and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from domestic wastewater.
Feature / Find out how systematic reviews and systematic maps can minimise bias in evidence synthesis.
Press release / The winners of the BONUS RETURN innovation challenge are Aquacare in the Netherlands, TerraNova in Germany, and Ravita in Finland.
Feature / The BONUS RETURN project is offering pre-commercialization support for the best ideas for reducing nutrient and carbon emissions and productive reuse.
Past event / Theme: How can we enable circular innovations to trigger sustainable transformations in the Baltic Sea Region?
Project / This project analyzes Swedish citizens’ beliefs, attitudes and policy preferences for wastewater reuse and land application of sewage sludge.
Feature / A look at phosphorus from mine to fork, problems it causes on the ocean and how we can leverage innovation to recover and reuse phosphorus.
SEI brief / This brief looks at how the Słupsk Bioenergy Cluster serves as a living laboratory for small cities seeking to transition to a circular economy model.
