Dec 05, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. With the granting of the permit for the Scottish terminal at Dundee, on 5th November, Crown Timber plc now holds Industrial Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) operating permits for all treatment operations at its 9 plants spread across the four operating locations in Britain and Ireland ensuring compliance with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

The IED, which comes into effect this year for existing installations, is the main EU instrument regulating pollution emissions from industrial installations and aims to achieve a high level of protection of human health and the environment across the EU.

All treatment plants with a theoretical 24 hour treatment capacity of 75 m3 or above fall under the regulations so most UK and Irish installations require permitting.

Crown Timber was founded in 1983 and operates as a specialist just in time distributor of strength graded softwood and engineered wood products to the roof truss and timber frame manufacturing industries, as well as to timber and builders merchants.
