Waste Treatment Best Available Techniques and additional guidance documents

Best Available Techniques (BAT) aim to prevent or reduce emissions and impacts on the environment.

Industrial installations with specific types of activity must use BAT to prevent and reduce emissions to air, water and land. 

Existing EU BAT documents continue to be used while the UK develops its own.
