The main purpose of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) approach is to prevent or, in cases where it cannot be prevented, to reduce emissions in air, water and land from industrial activities with a high pollution potential based on best available techniques and reference documents to protect the environment as a whole. IPPC approach includes;

• Integrated approach,
• Waste prevention/reduction at the source,
• Implementation of best available techniques (BATs)
• Evaluation according to environmental quality standards (EQS)
• Energy and resource efficiency

For adaptation of the IPPC approach to Turkey, our Ministry has been conducting IPPC harmonization and sectoral projects.

Detailed information and important documents regarding the IPPC, IED and projects conducted by our Ministry can be found in this website.
