“…Moreover, also Wijesekara et al (2016) defined BS as stabilized organic solids derived from sewage treatment processes which can be managed safely to be used beneficially for their nutrient, energy, or other values. Therefore, biological SS when properly treated and processed becomes BS and can be reused in many applications due to their high content of nutrient and organic matter (Ashekuzzaman et al, 2019;EPA, 2019).…”

“…with lime) in order to convert it into BS which met standards required for agricultural reuse (Al-Gheethi et al, 2018a). Indeed, high stabilization and reduction of the pathogen level represents essential requirements for land application (Al-Gheethi et al, 2018b;Ashekuzzaman et al, 2019). For instance, Collivignarelli et al (2015a) carried out a regional study to investigate the BS reuse on agricultural land in Lombardy and reported that more than 90% of the Italian BS reused in agriculture are applied to the soils of five regions (i.e.…”

“…In addition, developing a sustainable and integrated circular system to reuse biosolids in land application can be entirely inserted in the concept of circular economy [23][24][25]. In recent years, the European Commission adopted an ambitious Circular Economy Package to promote the reuse, recycling, and recovery of wastes [26].…”

Legislation for the Reuse of Biosolids on Agricultural Land in Europe: Overview

The issues concerning the management of sewage sludge produced in wastewater treatment plants are becoming more important in Europe due to: (i) the modification of sludge quality (biological and chemical sludge are often mixed with negative impacts on sludge management, especially for land application); (ii) the evolution of legislation (landfill disposal is banned in many European countries); and (iii) the technologies for energy and material recovery from sludge not being fully applied in all European Member States. Furthermore, Directive 2018/851/EC introduced the waste hierarchy that involved a new strategy with the prevention in waste production and the minimization of landfill disposal. In this context, biological sewage sludge can be treated in order to produce more stabilized residues: the biosolids. In some European countries, the reuse of biosolids as soil improver/fertilizer in arable crops represents the most used option. In order to control the quality of biosolids used for land application, every Member State has issued a national regulation based on the European directive. The aim of this work is to compare the different approaches provided by European Member States for the reuse of biosolids in agricultural soils. A focus on the regulation of countries that reuse significant amount of biosolids for land application was performed. Finally, a detailed study on Italian legislation both at national and regional levels is reported.

Sendo que para o uso agrícola tem ganhado expressivo destaque, pois diminui o volume de água de boa qualidade consumida por essa atividade e representar uma fonte alternativa de nutrientes (Schaer-Barbosa et al, 2014;Egbuikwem et al, 2020).…”

Agriculture is facing a significant challenge worldwide due to the scarcity of water resources. The water unavailability encouraged several studies on wastewater in agriculture. Among the types of wastewater, greywater can be cited as a more viable and safe alternative, as they have a lower microbial load. Besides, for greater efficiency of water resources, the use of wastewater in agriculture may be associated with other agricultural practices, such as the reduction of irrigation depths, the use of plant species tolerant to water deficit (such as millet cultivation) and balanced nutritional management value provided by organic fertilization. Most of the information about millet cultivation techniques are essential for success in areas with low water availability, such as the Brazilian semiarid region. Thus, this review aims to present alternative management techniques (water reuse, deficit irrigation, and organic fertilization) that used in association with the millet culture (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) aiming for an increase in productivity with efficient use of water. Several types of research were carried out in databases (ScienceDirect, Scopus, Mendeley, and Google Scholar) without language restriction, with the literature of significant relevance in Agricultural Sciences. The association of reduced irrigation volumes with organic fertilization is an alternative that improves the efficiency of water use in millet and, consequently, its production during the drought periods.
