It is best practice to implement state-of-the-art techniques that maximise resource efficiency and minimise environmental impact in the areas of waste treatment (including material recycling, energy recovery and waste disposal). Useful reference documents (non-exhaustive list) on relevant state-of-the-art techniques that organisations can refer to are:
- Reference Document on Best Available Techniques for Waste Treatment;
- End-of-waste criteria;
- Reference Document on Best Available Techniques for Waste Incineration;
- EU Landfill Directive (99/31/EC).
