NPHarvest started as an Aalto University research project in 2016. Project goal was to figure out an economic and profitable method to recover phosphorus and nitrogen from the wastewaters. After 7 years of R&D, many publications and one dissertation, NPHarvest became the first spin-off company of Water Lab of Aalto in September 2023.
NPHarvest founding teams have over 30 years of combined expertise in organic waste management, wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery from R&D to project development and management.
