Please find HERE a document that European Compost Network have produced to summarise the results of the ECN survey which you and other trade bodies’ members completed a while ago. It will be used to highlight to the JRC-IPTS which key environmental indicators should be considered for biological treatments. The document was discussed in Cologne at a ECN meeting which I attended on 8th April and has been agreed within a stakeholder coalition (ECN, EBA, EEB, FEAD and MWE). ECN will now exchange this document with the broader JRC Biological treatment subgroup. The document will be used to influence the questionnaire used for the data collation (between May – September 2014) and to inform the drafting of Chapter 3 of the WT BREF (emission and consumption levels).

These are the draft BATS THAT ECN experts have drafted over the past weeks. They are still in a primordial form, but it is important we start gauging your views and comments on these. Please send me any comments ASAP (kiara@r-e-a.net).   Please ignore formatting and English issues for now and focus on the technical content. The BATs will inform the drafting of chapter 5 of the WT BREF.
