Abstract

Integrated permits address each aspect of a facility's operation that has environmental impact. Permitting industrial facilities is a key tool for regulating environmental pollution in many nations across the globe. In Europe, the integrated approach on environmental pollution is based on the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive. Now it has been replaced by Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) n.75/2010. The implementation of Directive could differ a lot among European regions due to different Competent Authorities involved. The study aims to assess how the IPPC Directive impacts the management of landfill industrial companies. It explores some requirements included in the integrated approach aiming. The aim is to investigate how the implementation of the Directive in six European Regions could have a different impact on companies of the same sector. Paper results show that some differences in the implementation of the IPPC Directive are not always justifiable by the flexibility provided by the legislation. These differences stimulate the implementation of the Directive in different ways, therefore causing differences in the consequent prevention of pollution, the key principle of the Directive. More coordination among different authorities could be a solution to overcome this aspect.
