The growth of the global population, coupled with concomitant economic development, has resulted in generation a substantial quantity waste. transition European Union’s economy towards closed-loop model is prompting comprehensive search for waste management concepts across range industrial sectors. objective this study to valorise deinking paper sludge, which high potential soil formation due its organic matter content. To produce organic–mineral fertiliser, sludge was subjected acid hydrolysis, then neutralised KOH solution and enriched poultry litter ash. final products were characterised terms their nutrient heavy metal bioavailability phosphorus, along forms it occurs fertilisers, determined through implementation five-step fractionation procedure. Furthermore, an eight-week incubation period conducted assess fertilisers’ performance soil. Soil samples tested on weekly basis pH, water-soluble bioavailable phosphorus content using spectroscopic method after previous extraction water Bray’s solution, catalase activity titrimetric method. resulting fertilisers found meet requirements organo-mineral categorised as PK-type total 24.6–39.3%. Fractionation studies demonstrated that contained 20–30% potentially phosphorus. long-term release from confirmed studies. Additionally, observed contribute increase
