 **WFD** (among others) establishes the basic framework for the circular use of waste resources and defines the concept of End-of-Waste (EoW). As a directive, it has to be transposed to the member-state level, leading to inconsistent local implementation that has already been an obstacle to various bioremediation projects. **WFD** (among others) establishes the basic framework for the circular use of waste resources and defines the concept of End-of-Waste (EoW).

-**FPR** is the first (and, so far, the only) EU-level __regulation__ implementing EoW. Algae are a valid Component Material Category (CMC) #2, included among plant materials, but the same clause excludes cyanobacteria. Algae can also enter as substrates for anaerobic digestion, producing CMC #4 and CMC #5. Algae might also be used unchanged as microorganisms directly applied to soil (CMC 7). FPR does not mention algal fertilisers (fertilisers used as nutrients for algal growth), but this option may be inferred from considering algae as plants.+**FPR** is the first (and, so far, the only) EU-level __regulation__ implementing EoW.

 **ABPR** is (among others) relevant to fertilising products of animal origin, such as manure. Algae can also be grown on ABP, such as pig manure, or on ABP-derived products, such as biogas digestate (from manure and other materials). In both cases, "grown" means that algae may be used in a bioremediating step of such streams. **ABPR** is (among others) relevant to fertilising products of animal origin, such as manure.
