Legislative directives are becoming the primary drivers of industrial and municipal water treatments, for example the implementation of the Integrated Pollution and Preventative Control Directive. This has placed an increased pressure on the industry in order to improve the wastewater treatments. The European Union is forcing tighter standards, whilst the USA introduces new ambient standards limiting particulate less than 2.5 microns in diameter. There are also standards around the world which require reduction of mercury, cadmium, lead, and other toxic metals. It is noted that fabric filters are superior to other air pollution devices in removing these compounds. "... 

In Europe, the Integrated Pollution and Prevention Control (IPPC) bureau passed a new Industrial Emission Directive (lED) in 2010 to reduce NOx emissions and implement the Best Available Techniques (BAT) in glass furnaces [3]. The Best Available Techniques Associated Emission Levels (BAT-AELs) essentially requires that most air-fired container and flat glass furnaces achieve NOx levels below 800 mg/Nm (see Tables 1 and 2). The directive is effective since April 2012 aU new furnaces must immediately comply and old furnaces will have to comply by 2016/2017, even though regional authorities can negotiate and implement limits on a plant specific basis.

Implements a new system of pollution control. Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPCj, which will eventually replace IPC and EAPC under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. 

IPPC is based on EC directive 96/61 and is the successor to the UK Integrated Pollution Control Act (IPCA), the important difference being the prevention aspect. In England and Wales the EA is responsible for the implementation of IPPC (Scottish Environment Protection Agency in Scotland). In summary, the aims of IPPC may be expressed as ...

The production of the virgin fibre-based papers (boxboard and corrugating base paper) needs, in comparison to recycled fibre-based papers, more resources. Based on data from the report of IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) and calculations according to Table 1, the additional yearly consumptions equal for water 63.1 Mio m3, for electricity 3.9 Mio MWh and for thermal energy 34.2 Mio GJ in terms of steam. 

In the European Union the key instrument governing the prevention and control of pollution is the 1996 IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) Directive [10]. Member States were required to implement this Directive through national legislation and regulation by September 1999.
