Integrated Environmental Permit through Best Available Techniques: Evaluation of the dairy industry
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017Co-Authors: E.r. Torres López, R. Doval Leira, M. Galera Martínez, P.m. Bello BugalloAbstract:Abstract Galicia (NW Spain) has been the first national milk producer with production rates oscillating between 25.7% and 39.1%, of the total milk produced in Spain between 2001 and 2014. Dairy industry is one of the most important food activities in this geographical region; only fish processing industry (data from 2014) precedes its annual turnover. Research related to sustainability in this sector has proved that farming is the most polluting process associated to the life cycle. Nevertheless, the prevention and control of emissions to air, water and soil, as well as waste generation derived from the industrial process, cannot be omitted. This is the objective of the Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, IPPC). The industrial activities included in its Annex I (as the dairy industry) must, among others, implement the Best Available Techniques (BATs), to achieve a high level of protection of the environment taken as a whole. This paper analyses the degree of implementation of the IPPC Directive in the dairy industry of Galicia, selecting 5 dairy industrial installations in the framework of the IPPC. The used methodology was proposed previously and applied for validation to the fish and seafood caning industry (Bello Bugallo et al., 2013). The Environmental performance of these plants was analysed using, among others, the first Environmental Permits and taking into account the last modifications published in the official journal, as a source of information about the degree of implementation of the BAT and the associated emission levels. The results give an updated inventory of BAT for the dairy industry, the comparative between plants, the number of implemented BAT, the emissions and the overall Environmental performance of each plant. The main conclusions indicate that the degree of implementation of BAT is, in general, quite poor especially those related to waste management. The 2 plants “theoretically” with the largest number of BAT implemented are the most pollutant ones (taken into account emissions). The reason is not that BATs are not effective but every plant has its particularities (age, the kind of fuel used, and so on) and therefore, each one has its own needs from an Environmental point of view. Then BAT should be selected for the most pollutant flows, the so called Improvable Flows (IF). These IF must be identified previously with adequate tools, followed by the selection of the appropriate BATs from an updated inventory. This analysis could be extrapolated and applied to the rest of the installations of this sector.

integrated Environmental Permit through best available techniques evaluation of the fish and seafood canning industry
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013Co-Authors: P.m. Bello Bugallo, Cristobal L Andrade, Magan A Iglesias, Torres R LopezAbstract:Abstract Fish and seafood canning industry constitutes a fundamental sector for the economy of Galicia (NW Spain), where these companies represent more than 50% of the total number of installations of this sector in Spain, and they account for 80% of the national production. So, highlighting their essential role in the economy of the region, it is important to foster the sustainability through the responsible consumption of raw materials, the prevention and reduction of waste generation and the use of green technologies. This is a desirable goal at the European Union (EU) which can be undertaken with the philosophy proposed in 1996 by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive and updated in 2010 by Directive 2010/75/EU. The IPPC policy lays down a framework requiring EU Member States to issue operating Permits for industrial installations carrying out certain activities described in Annex 1 of the Directive, including fish and seafood canning industry in epigraph 6.4.b. The main points of these laws are prevention, multimedia licencing, reporting, freedom of access of information, use of Best Available Techniques (BAT), and setting of Emission Limit Values (ELVs). Moreover, the Directive takes into account emissions to the air, water and soil, as well as waste management, resource efficiency and energy efficiency aspects. In brief, the purpose of the IPPC is to achieve a high level of protection for the total environment and the health of people. This paper analyses the degree of implementation of the IPPC Directive in the fish and seafood canning industry of Galicia, in the North–West (NW) of Spain. A methodology is proposed to compare emissions on the basis of emission factors, considering the implemented BAT and their influence on the overall Environmental performance of the installation.

Environmental Permit application process (‘WABO’), CoSeLoG project – Municipality 2
Eindhoven University of Technology, 2014Co-Authors: Buijs J.c.a.m.Abstract:This data originates from the CoSeLoG project executed under NWO project number 638.001.211. Within the CoSeLoG project the (dis)similarities between several processes of different municipalities in the Netherlands has been investigated. This data is part of a collection of 5 event logs that record the execution of a building Permit application process in five different anonymous municipalities. The recording of these processes is comparable which means that activity labels in the different event logs refer to the same activities performed in the five municipalities. The event log contains additional data on the case/trace and event level. In total there are 16 trace level attributes which include the parts the Permit consists of, the planned end date and the responsible actor. The event attributes contain the activity label, the timestamp of execution and the human resource involved. Furthermore, information regarding the planned date of execution and the due date is included. Additionally events may contain additional process data. Some attributes contain Dutch terms and phrases

best available techniques bat for the fruit and vegetable processing industry
Resources Conservation and Recycling, 2002Co-Authors: An Derden, P Vercaemst, Roger DijkmansAbstract:Best available techniques (BAT) are an important reference point in the Environmental Permit regulation for industrial installations in the European Union Member States, which have to implement the integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC)-directive (96/61/EC). BAT correspond to the techniques and organisational measures with the best overall Environmental performance that can be introduced at a reasonable cost. In the Flanders part of Belgium, BAT are usually determined at the sector level. The ‘Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industry’ [BAT for Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industry. Gent, Belgium: Academia Press, 1999] is one of the industries for which a BAT report has been drafted. In this paper, the main results of this study are presented. Special attention is given to the use of high quality water1, as this is the key Environmental issue of the industry.

off label prescription of genetically modified organism medicines in europe emerging conflicts of interest
Human Gene Therapy, 2014Co-Authors: H E Schagenfrederik, C Hoebenrob, A P HospersgekeAbstract:Abstract Recently, the first human medicine containing a genetically modified organism (GMO medicine) was authorized for use in the European market. Just as any medicinal product, the market authorization for a GMO medicine contains a precise description of the therapeutic use for which the medicinal product is intended. Within this use, the application of the GMO medicine is Permitted, without the need for the institution to obtain a specific Permit. In practice, however, medicinal products are also frequently prescribed for treatment outside the registered therapeutic use, a practice that is referred to as “off-label use.” While off-label use of conventional medicines is Permitted and has been very useful, the off-label use of GMO medicines is not covered in the European Union (EU) legislation or guidelines and falls under each member state's national Environmental legislation. This implies that in the Netherlands and most other EU member states, an Environmental Permit will be required for any institut...
