Driving Sustainable Production and Environmental Protection Forward

The IPPC Directive is one of the key community instruments for driving sustainable production. It is the main instrument used to regulate over 55000 industrial installations across Europe. At the heart of the Directive is the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT). Each industrial sector covered by the Directive benefit from an exchange of information between Member States and industry in order to define BAT. This exchange of information is organised by the Commission and results in the elaboration of BAT reference documents, also called BREFs. The first series of 32 BREFs will be completed in 2006 and the revision has started in 2005.
