The Industrial Reporting Database
The European Environment Agency (EEA) in collaboration with the European Environmental Information and Observation Network gather and assess data on a wide range of topics regarding the environment. The target is ‘to provide sound, independent information on the environment for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public’.
The Industrial Reporting Database is the result of this fully functioning cooperation. The accessible files represent the status of the EEA Industrial Reporting database as of 22 March 2022. The publicly accessible Industrial Reporting Database (European Environmental Agency, 2022c) makes the mapping of bio-based (nutrient rich) input streams possible since the registered companies (Table 1 to Table 3) are potential candidates for the implementation of P and/or N – recovery. The reporting of the data includes ages 2007 to 2020.
The accessible data will be presented for Belgium, Portugal and Hungary. In Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 one can find the addresses of all the registered Urban WW Treatment Plants in the Waste and WW management sector. Regarding the non-hazardous waste and the selection of recovery as a path of treatment, the registrations and the quantities are as follows:

An extensive evaluation of bio-based input streams has been performed by numerous sources. Another option of EU-MS is the incineration or even co-incineration of products that derive after the treatment of urban and industrial WW, Sewage sludge and Food (in the scope of the WalNUT project). Incineration ash and sewage sludge ash are rich in phosphorus and more than 90 % of it can be valorised towards the production of an adequate phosphate fertiliser. Attention must be paid to the purification stage due to the accumulative effect of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Cd) on soil contamination in case a dewatered phosphate sludge (after for example the precipitation of phosphates with lime water) is used as a bio-based fertiliser (Franz, 2007). The industrial Reporting Database provides access to the waste incineration (WI) and waste co-incineration (co-WI) plants in EU-MS. In Table 4, Denmark will be used as an example of the presentation of WI plants registered in 2020.

‘This database contains identification and administrative information reported to the EU Registry on Industrial Sites. It includes facilities involved in activities listed in Annex I of the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) Regulation and installations involved in activities listed in Annex I of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), with additional granularity on installations subject to Chapters III and IV of the IED (large combustion plants (LCPs), waste incinerators (WIs) and co-waste incinerators (co-WIs). The database creates a (geographical) relationship between entities covered by the E-PRTR Regulation and the IED. The database brings together thematic data formerly reported separately under Article 7 of the E-PRTR Regulation and IED Article 72. It includes annual facility releases to air, water and land of pollutants listed in Annex II of the E-PRTR Regulation (above Annex II release thresholds only) as well as off-site transfers in waste-water. Off-site transfers of waste are also included (above Article 5 thresholds only). The database also includes plant-by-plant data on LCPs including rated thermal input, annual energy input and emissions of SO2, NOX and dust. This dataset contains the location and administrative data for the largest industrial complexes in Europe, releases and transfers of regulated substances to all media, waste transfers as well as more detailed data on energy input and emissions for large combustion plants. These data are reported to EEA under Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 2010/75/EU Commission Implementing Decision 2018/1135 and the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 Commission Implementing Decision 2019/1741. The dataset brings together data formerly reported separately under E-PRTR Regulation Art.7 and under IED Art.72. Additional reporting requirements under the IED are also included. It contains by EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The provided files represent the status of the EEA Industrial Reporting database as of 22 March 2022.’ (European Environmental Agency, 2022c).
Regarding 2020, the latest accessible version uploaded on April 25th 2022 ( (European Environmental Agency, 2022c) of the accessible data is organised as follows:
- Total releases at national level into water
- Total release at E-PRTR Sector into Water
- Total release at E-PRTR Annex I Activity into Water
- Detailed releases at facility level with E-PRTR Sector and Annex I Activity detail into Water
- Total pollutant transfer
- Detailed pollutant transfer at facility level with E-PRTR Sector and Annex I Activity detail
- Total waste transfer
- Detailed waste transfer at facility level with E-PRTR Sector and Annex I Activity detail
- Detailed information on WI and co-WI
The mapping also includes the ‘Total information on Installations’ file

In Table 4, Denmark is used as an example of the presentation of WI plants registered in 2020. Nutrient recovery can be applied on the incineration ash in WI plants with nutrients and nutrient content depending on the origin of the waste or waste water (Krüger & Adam, 2015).
