Manure can now be used as an input for CE-mark fertilising products, under specific conditions, as such after ABP Regulation sterilisation under CMC10, or also as input to composts, digestates, biochars (CMCs 3, 5, 14). European Commission Delegated Regulation 2024/1682 (4 March 2024), completing DG SANTE Delegated Regulation 2023/1605, enables, as of now and under specified conditions, the use of “Processed Manure” as a component material under the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) CMC10. This concerns ‘Processed Manure’ as defined in the EU Animal By-Products Regulation ABP 1069/2009 and Annex XI, §2, ch. I of 142/2011.
The new Delegated Regulation 2024/1682 sets specific conditions for use of “Processed Manure” in EU FPR CMC10 including: processing must be as specified for “Processed Manure” in the EU Animal By-Product Regulations (temperature, time, registered installation …), this also means that the requirements of the ABP ‘End-Point’ for fertilisers, fixed by Delegated Regulation 2023/1605 must be respected: size or packaging, mixing with other materials, labelling, particle size, pressure granulation, pelletisation, drying, stability, PAH.
Note that this new Delegated Regulation 2024/1682 covers only ‘Processed Manure’ in FPR CMC10.
European Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1682 “amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards adding processed manure as a component material in EU fertilising products”, 4 March 2024, is nowavailable at the following link, in multiple languages:

This new EU Regulation 2024/1682 is an important clarification step towards circular economy transition via fertilisers based on “processed manure” production, what can be obtained by installing an H2-VOLAZ plant, already matching most of the above-mentioned requirements.
The H2-VOLAZ solution is illustrated in the PLANTS page!
