IPPC Services
IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) is a regulatory system to ensure that industry adopts an integrated approach to pollution control to achieve a high level of protection for the environment and human health. The regulatory regime is enforced by local authorities and the Environment Agency in the UK, National Resource Wales in Wales and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency in Scotland. The main aim of the Environmental Permit regulations is to authorise industrial processes which could have an impact on the environment from its operations. Most recently the legislation now brings the particular sectors of the waste industry into the same regulations.
