# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/2119 of 20 November 2015 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the production of wood-based panels (notified under document C(2015) 8062) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 12: In order to reduce the quantity of solid waste being sent for disposal, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Technique
Applicability
a
Reuse internally collected wood residues, such as trimmings and rejected panels, as a raw material.
The applicability for reject fibreboard panel products may be limited.
b
Use internally collected wood residues, such as wood fines and dust collected in a dust abatement system and wood sludge from waste water filtration, as fuel (in appropriately equipped on-site combustion plants) or as a raw material.
The use of wood sludge as a fuel may be restricted if the energy consumption needed for drying outweighs the environmental benefits.
c
Use ring collection systems with one central filtration unit to optimise the collection of residues, e.g. bag filter, cyclofilter, or high efficiency cyclones.
Generally applicable for new plants. The layout of an existing plant may limit the applicability.
