This Act implemented the 1996 EU Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control 96/61/EC (which has since been updated and superseded by the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EC).

This Act and its subsequent regulations (the Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Regulations 2000) formed the basis for the new IPPC regime in the UK.

Under both of these regulations, industrial sites that fell under the PPC regime were known as installations with the operator of the installation required to hold a permit to operate the facilities. The permit specified the application of [[Best Available ~~Techniques~~]] (BAT) to either eliminate pollution or reduce pollution to harmless levels.

Under both of these regulations, industrial sites that fell under the PPC regime were known as installations with the operator of the installation required to hold a permit to operate the facilities. The permit specified the application of [[Best Available Technique]]s (BAT) to either eliminate pollution or reduce pollution to harmless levels.

The PPC regulations apply to all installations carrying out ‘activities’, which are listed in Schedule 1 to the Regulation’s. Waste management is one of the listed activity sectors.
