Research Analyst Martino Finotelli examines Haskoning’s acquisition of the ViviMag technology from Kemira, and what it reveals about the realities of scaling resource recovery in the water sector.
ViviMag enables recovery of vivianite (iron phosphate) from sludge, offering an alternative to struvite and ash-based recovery pathways. But while the technology is sound, the market context has shifted. Earlier momentum, driven by regulatory uncertainty and emerging mandates, has softened, with the latest EU framework placing greater emphasis on energy, neutrality, and micropollutants, rather than phosphorus recovery.
