In December 2010, the Directive on industrial emissions
(integrated pollution prevention and control) (Recast) (2010/75/EU), was
published in the Official Journal and requires transposition into UK law no
later than 6 January 2013. It represents a combining of seven directives,
including the Waste Incineration directive, into one piece of legislation.
Certain provisions of the directive follow the implementation dates below:
Transposition into UK law by 6 January 2013.
Implementation from 6 January 2013 in respect of any
installation new after that date.
Implementation by 6 January 2014 in respect of
installations already in existence before 6 January 2013 (except large
combustion plants).
Implementation by 6 July 2015 in respect of industrial
activities not subject to the current integrated pollution prevention and
control Directive.
Implementation from 1 January 2016 in respect of large
combustion plants already in existence before 6 January 2013.
