Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control)
The Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document (BREF) for the Textiles Industry is part of a series of documents presenting the results of an exchange of information between EU Member States, the industries concerned, non-governmental organisations promoting environmental protection, and the Commission, to draw up, review and – where necessary – update BAT reference documents as required by Article 13(1) of Directive 2010/75/EU on Industrial Emissions (the Directive). This document is published by the European Commission pursuant to Article 13(6) of the Directive.
The BREF on Textiles Industry covers the pretreatment operations such as washing, bleaching, mercerisation or dyeing of textile fibres or textiles where the treatment capacity exceeds 10 tonnes per day, as specified in Point 6.2. of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU. This BREF also concerns independently operated treatment of waste water that are not covered by Directive 91/271/EEC as specified in point 6.11 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU, provided that the main pollutant load originates from the activities covered in this BREF.
The BREF also covers the following:
• Coating, dry cleaning, fabric production, finishing, lamination, printing, singeing, wool carbonising, wool fulling, spinning of fibres (other than man-made fibres), washing or rinsing associated with dyeing, printing or finishing; if directly associated with the activities covered by this BREF.
