SummaryThe data available focuses more or less <strong>on</strong> <strong>waste</strong> treatment facilitiesproviding numbers for the existence <strong>of</strong> such facilities applying differentcategories using a more or less rough categorisati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the facilities.According to this data, the most important facilities include:• facilities for storage <strong>and</strong> transfer <strong>of</strong> <strong>waste</strong>;• recovery/recycling facilities (in particular physico-chemical,biological treatment, recycling <strong>and</strong> reclamati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> metals <strong>and</strong>organic substances, oil re-refining);SummaryMost importantfacilities:- storage <strong>and</strong>transfer <strong>of</strong> <strong>waste</strong>- recovery/recycling- incinerators- l<strong>and</strong>fills• incinerators;• l<strong>and</strong>fills.As the BREF document indicates [IPPC 2006], there are many hundredstechniques applied within the <strong>waste</strong> treatment sector. It should not be thepurpose <strong>of</strong> the manual/guidance for <strong>permitting</strong> <strong>and</strong> inspecti<strong>on</strong>s to reflectthe technical specificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> all those techniques. It is, however, possibleto include such technical specificati<strong>on</strong>s whenever suitable as additi<strong>on</strong>alinformati<strong>on</strong> (i.e. checklists for certain techniques). The guidance/manualshould also include operati<strong>on</strong>s like collecti<strong>on</strong>, preparati<strong>on</strong> for re-use <strong>and</strong>pre-treatment for which data <strong>on</strong> existence is not available, but operati<strong>on</strong>sare certainly <strong>of</strong> relevance.Many hundredstechniques<str<strong>on</strong>g>Guidance</str<strong>on</strong>g>/manual isin general followingthe <strong>waste</strong> chainThe manual <strong>and</strong> guidance should therefore follow in principle the <strong>waste</strong>chain applying the general categorisati<strong>on</strong> given in the WFD starting with the<strong>waste</strong> producer <strong>and</strong> ending with a certain treatment operati<strong>on</strong>, including inparticular WEEE collecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> treatment facilities <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>fills. As regardscollecti<strong>on</strong>, especially the <strong>waste</strong> streams addressed within the WFD withspecific targets should be included (glass, metal, paper, plastic, C&D <strong>waste</strong>,bio-<strong>waste</strong>). The following figure includes a proposal. Although not includedin the figure, specifically for RoHS the pre-<strong>waste</strong> phases are important: theproducti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the material <strong>and</strong> its distributi<strong>on</strong> phase (the putting <strong>on</strong> themarket).European Commissi<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>Guidance</str<strong>on</strong>g> (Final versi<strong>on</strong>)Services to support Member States' enforcement acti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong> inspecti<strong>on</strong>s c<strong>on</strong>cerning the applicati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> EU <strong>waste</strong> legislati<strong>on</strong>
