On 10 June 2023, new common EU limit values for 8 POP substances in waste come into force. POP substances (Persistent Organic Pollutants) have toxic properties and break down very slowly in nature. Therefore, in 2023 the EU has set common limit values for four new POP substances in waste and lowered the limit values for four other POP substances in waste.
Regulation (EC) No. 1021/2019 on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation) implements, among other things, the obligations in EU legislation contained in the global agreement Stockholm Convention on POP substances. The overall purpose of the regulation is to limit the release of POP substances into the environment. The regulation restricts the marketing of POP substances and sets conditions for the manufacture, use and waste management of the POP substances.
