Organisational Structure

Working Group on BREFs The Working Group on BREFs was established for the purpose of preparing the review of the Waste Treatment and Waste Incineration BREF under the new rules of the Industrial Emissions Directive. BREFs are documents describing the Best Available Techniques to minimise the overall environmental impact of an installation like a Waste-to-Energy plant.

Technical Committee The Technical Committee reviews the policies and legislation set by the EU and determines ESWET’s position on them. It includes a Working Group on BREFs. Chairman: Mr Hubert de Chefdebien

Under the Industrial Emissions Directive, the BREFs are no longer mere technical documents, but the BAT conclusions drawn have a legally-binding character. Chairman: Dr Edmund Fleck
