Waste Incineration Directive

The Waste Incineration Directive is a set of European regulations designed to minimize the environmental and health impacts of burning waste. It sets standards for emission levels, ensuring incineration plants operate efficiently and emit pollutants within safe limits. The directive promotes environmental protection by requiring proper technical measures, monitoring, and permitting processes. Its goal is to reduce air pollution, manage waste responsibly, and encourage recycling and waste prevention, while allowing waste incineration as a controlled disposal method when necessary.
