# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2009 of 22 June 2020 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions, for surface treatment using organic solvents including preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals (notified under document C(2020) 4050) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 29: In order to reduce VOC emissions from publication rotogravure printing, BAT is to use a toluene recovery system based on adsorption and one or both of the techniques given below.

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

Technique
Description
(a)
Use of retention inks
Retention inks slow the formation of the dried film surface, which allows toluene to evaporate over a longer time and therefore more toluene to be released in the dryer and recovered by the toluene recovery system.
(b)
Automatic cleaning systems connected to the toluene recovery system
Automated cylinder cleaning with air extraction to the toluene recovery system.
