Essential but misplaced
The Problem
Phosphorus is essential for food production
Excess phosphate damages rivers and lakes
Nutrient pollution creates costly environmental challenges
Global phosphorus resources are finite

Recover Phosphate.
Reuse Nutrients.
Regenerate Resources.
Rookwood helps water companies, developers and landowners recover phosphorus from water and return it to productive use through scalable, carbon-negative technology.
Recover → Reuse → Regenerate
The opportunity
Recover
Remove nutrients from water.
Reuse
Turn recovered resources into useful products.
Regenerate
Support healthier ecosystems, agriculture and climate outcomes.
Rookwoods Solution
How we do it
Develop Nutrient Recovery Systems.
Powered by our advanced phosphate recovery solutions for water treatment.
PRM®
Rookwoods patented phosphate recovery material.
Recovered Resources Reused
Circular products created from recovered nutrients.
LIFTEDP®
Rookwoods slow-release agricultural phosphate fertiliser.
Through Managed Circular Solutions
And flexible deployment with material-as-a-service options.
NURE®
Nutrient recovery designed with common sense.
Products
What we make
PRM®
Our patented, high‑capacity materials delivers rapid, effective phosphate removal while maintaining structural stability and environmental safety. PRM® enables water quality improvement and nutrient recovery in one solution.
LIFTED®
LiftedP will return resources for other applications. Like phosphate back to agricultural land through a slow‑release, soil‑enhancing formulation. More than that it supports water and nutrient retention in soil too.
Applications
Where we work
Water utilities
Reduce phosphate and support compliance.
Agriculture
Recover nutrients and improve soil fertility
Developers
Support nutrients nuetrality and nature recovery
Environmental Restoration
Improve water quality and ecosystem health
Practical innovation
Why Rookwood
Nature-Based. Built using natural and circular inputs.

Essential but Misplaced
Nutrients like Phosphorus are critical for food production, yet globally scarce. At the same time, excess phosphate in water fuels algal blooms, degrades ecosystems and threatens public health.
Our simple, circular approach:
Recover → Reuse → Regenerate
