Brief description of activity

The BAT conclusions for production of pulp, paper and board were published on 30 September 2014 in the Official Journal of the European Union (L284) following a European Union wide review of BAT, implementing decision 2014/687/EU of 26 September 2014. The relevant BAT conclusions that apply from 1 October 2018 are 1 to 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 40, 41, 47, 49 to 53. The operator is compliant with the exception of BAT conclusions 5, 14, 16, 40 and 50. We have set improvement conditions to track progress against future compliance for these BAT conclusions.
