  • Does Bref cover waste incineration?
  • One BREF covers waste incineration and some thermal waste treatments such as pyrolysis and gasification (point 5.2 of Annex I of the Directive). Although point 5.4 of Annex I includes waste landfills, this document does not cover BAT for landfills. Thus, the scope of this document focuses on the following points of Annex I of the Directive:
  • What does Bref cover?
  • Scope of this document This document, together with other BREFs in the series, is intended to cover the activities described in Section 5 of Annex I of the IPPC Directive, namely ‘waste management’. Another BREF covers waste incineration and some thermal waste treatments such as pyrolysis and gasification (point 5.2 of Annex I of the Directive).
  • Does Bref cover combustion of waste?
  • Discussion of the actual combustion of the waste is not in this document as it is covered in the individual sectorial BREFs (e.g. waste incineration, cement and lime, large combustion plants, iron and steel, etc.).
  • What are waste treatment installations?
  • Waste treatment installations contain operations for the recovery or disposal of waste. Waste treatment installations are considered to provide services to society to handle their waste materials and sometimes these treatments generate products. As it is shown in the next table, more than 14000 waste treatment installations exist in the EU.
