Call for Evidence : ​Non Waste Anaerobic Digestion over 100 tonnes per day: Permit technical requirements ​

Closes 9 Jan 2026

BAT 22

In order to use materials efficiently, BAT is to substitute materials with waste.

The specific measures listed are not applicable to non-waste AD however you must still demonstrate the overarching aim of using resources efficiently.

 

i. Waste is used instead of other materials for the treatment of wastes (e.g. waste alkalis or waste acids are used for pH adjustment, fly ashes are used as binders).

Some applicability limitations derive from the risk of contamination posed by the presence of impurities (e.g. heavy metals, POPs, salts, pathogens) in the waste that substitutes other materials. Another limitation is the compatibility of the waste substituting other materials with the waste input (see BAT 2)
