Best Available Techniques encompass preventive and end-of-pipe solutions aimed to contribute to the sustainability of the European industry. They are determined by the official Sevilla Process based on extensive data collection and analysis, supporting formal negotiation steps. This article presents a statistical multicriteria method applied to the dairy sector to help determine reference sites likely to use BATs. This 5-step methodology is based on two classifications: representative or performant sites. Performant sites selected by the Pareto front analysis are better than representative sites. In the representative analysis, the size of installations seems to be inversely proportional to their environmental impacts.
