Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) is a regulatory system that employs an integrated approach to control the environmental impacts in certain industrial activities. It involves determining the appropriate controls for the industry to protect the environment through a single permitting process. To gain a permit, operators will have to show that they have systematically developed proposals to apply the Best Available Techniques (BAT) and meet certain other requirements, taking into account of relevant local factors.

You may be required to apply for a permit or you may be making a significant change to your process. In both cases an application for a permit is required. Integra have an ‘in-house’ expertise to guide operators through the application process and assist in evaluation and assessment of environmental impacts. Many operators will already have their permit to operate but may be required to fulfil conditions included in improvement plans, a process we can help you with.
