Details

Operators of waste activities that need permits must meet the requirements of:

• S5.06
• clinical waste guidance S5.07
• waste treatments BREF

These are the initial points for defining appropriate measures and best available techniques (BAT).

New waste installations and new or replacement plant at existing waste installations must use BAT and meet associated emission limits from the date they are first permitted.

BAT and associated emission limits are set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147 on the European IPPC Bureau website.

For existing waste installations, operators will need to make sure that the BAT conclusions are met in full by August 2022.
