Do you want to make a lasting positive change to the environment? As a Technical author in the UK BAT team you can.

Large Slaughterhouses and Animal by‑products installations are required to use ‘Best Available Techniques’ (BAT) to reduce emissions to air, water and land. We’ve established a process for the definition of BAT within the UK. The regime will use the BAT concept principles of a transparent, collaborative, data and evidence‑led process that safeguards and builds on the current high levels of environmental protection.
