Marc Lanting

Marc Lanting is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research specializing in Biorefinery & Fibre Technology, with active roles in circular agriculture systems and sustainable resource management for greenhouse horticulture.

• Project Leader for 'LWV22107 Rewarding: Closing Water and Nitrate Cycles towards Zero Liquid Discharge in Greenhouse Horticulture' (2025-2026)
• Key collaborator in 'Living Lab Circulair Fosfaat voor de Glastuinbouw' with Stichting Innovatie Glastuinbouw Nederland, HVC, and SusPhos

His research focuses on:

• Developing circular frameworks for phosphorus and nitrogen recovery in hydroponic systems
• Techno-economic evaluation of carbon capture processes for bio-based chemical production
• Waste valorization through struvite recovery and inorganic contaminant management

Analysis of recent publications reveals a strong trend toward engineering sustainable closed-loop systems in controlled-environment agriculture, with emphasis on economic viability of circular nutrient flows and carbon-to-chemical conversion pathways. His work bridges agricultural engineering, environmental science, and industrial process economics.

Lanting actively contributes to industry-academic partnerships through conference presentations on circular phosphorus management (2024) and media coverage of nitrogen recycling solutions for greenhouse horticulture. His collaborative network spans Dutch agricultural research institutes and waste management consortia focused on zero-liquid-discharge systems.
