Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulations: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are substances that endure in the environment for extended periods, posing significant risks if not properly disposed of. They accumulate in the fatty tissues of humans and wildlife, causing detrimental effects on both health and the environment.

Through extensive investigations, SEPA has confirmed the widespread presence of substantial POPs and other hazardous chemicals in the textiles and foam of waste-upholstered domestic seating. These chemicals, formerly used as flame retardants, are banned due to their harmful nature.

Regulations mandate the destruction of POPs in waste to prevent long-term environmental damage and potential harm to the food chain. This requires the incineration of waste containing POPs, prohibiting reuse, recycling, or landfilling. Most forms of treatment are also banned.

As a waste producer, you are responsible for ensuring that you and any subsequent recipients appropriately describe and manage waste.

Which waste items are affected? Waste upholstered domestic seating encompasses various household seating items, whether from households or businesses, that are considered waste. Examples include sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen and dining room chairs, stools, footstools, home office chairs, futons, beanbags, electric reclining chairs, and floor and sofa cushions.

Items such as mattresses, curtains, carpets, blinds, and beds are not considered POPs. However, disposal of these items may incur additional costs.
