Consultation description
Summary
Defra invited views on the transposition of the industrial emissions Directive (2010/75/EU).
This Directive “recasts” seven existing Directives: those on integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC), large combustion plants, waste incineration, activities using organic solvents and three on titanium dioxide production.
As its name indicates, the industrial emissions Directive requires a wide range of industrial activities to be regulated so as to protect the environment from possible harm from their emissions.
This consultation will have been of particular interest to those who operate those industrial activities, and to those who are interested in how those activities are regulated.
