What is E-PRTR?
The European PRTR is the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register - the European-wide register of industrial and non-industrial releases into air, water, land and off-site transfers of waste water and waste including information from point and diffuse sources.
Based on the E-PRTR-regulation (Regulation (EC) 166/2006) industrial facilities of 27 European Member States report their
- Releases of pollutants to air, water and land
- Transfer of waste and
- Transfer of pollutants in wastewater destined for treatment in external wastewater treatment plants
and is intended to fully implement the obligations of the UN-ECE PRTR Protocol, which was signed in May 2003 by 36 countries and the European Community.
Furthermore, the European register provides information on emissions from diffuse sources, e.g. traffic and agriculture.
