Rookwoods nuRe® Approach

Recovering nutrients. Restoring water. Rebuilding resilience.

 

nuRe® is Rookwood’s overarching approach to tackling nutrient pollution — starting with phosphate and expanding to other nutrients and contaminants. It brings together natural bioresources, circular thinking and practical engineering to create solutions that just work.

A Philosophy for Nutrient Management

nuRe® isn’t a single product. It’s a framework that shapes every part of our work. Built on three simple principles, it guides how we design, deploy and scale nature‑based solutions.

Innovation Through Natural Bioresources

We use bioresources and recycled materials to create effective, sustainable technologies that avoid toxic or high‑energy alternatives.

Circular By Design

Nutrients aren’t waste — they’re valuable resources. nuRe® recovers them from water and reuses them or a better purpose, closing the loop.

Practical, Common-Sense Solutions

Everything we develop is built for real‑world impact: simple to use, environmentally sound, and viable at scale.

nuRe®: Built for a Sustainable Future

Connecting Technologies In One Approach

The structure behind our full suite of products and services — each solving a different part of the nutrient challenge but designed to work together. For example…

 

  • PRM® — Phosphate Recovery Material

    A patented material that captures phosphate from water and releases it back to crops when needed.
  • nuRe® Material as a Service

    A streamlined service model delivering efficient phosphate removal for water companies and landowners.
  • nuRe® Hardware

    Custom‑engineered systems designed to deploy recovery materials across reservoirs, treatment sites, farms and natural waters.
  • LiftedP® — Powered by PRM®

    Recovered phosphate returned to land as a usable, crop‑ready nutrient.

 

Meaning nuRe® delivers a scalable, flexible, and future‑proof approach to nutrient management.

Our Commitments to Sustainability and Impact

Designed to deliver long‑term environmental, economic and agricultural benefits.

  • Environmental Sustainability

    Reducing nutrient pollution, Improving water quality, preventing algal blooms, restoring ecosystems, sequestering carbon, and reducing reliance on mined phosphate.
  • Circular Economy

    Transforming under utilised bioresources into valuable materials and creating closed‑loop models for water and land management.
  • Economic Efficiency

    Providing cost‑effective alternatives for water treatment, nutrient neutrality, and fertiliser production.
  • Supporting Sustainable Agriculture

    Delivering crop‑ready nutrients in a form that reduces runoff and improves long‑term soil and water health.

More Than Phosphate — The Future of nuRe®

While nuRe® begins with phosphate recovery through PRM and LiftedP®, it has always been designed to go further.
The same approach can target additional nutrients and emerging pollutants — extending the impact of natural, circular solutions across new sectors and challenges.


nuRe® is the foundation of everything Rookwood is building next.
