OEP021-02 Persistent organic pollutants in waste

Efforts to manage Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are critical to the UK government’s Environmental Improvement Plan, focusing on reducing harmful chemical emissions and advancing a circular economy. Building on our assessment of Government’s progress towards its Environmental Improvement Plan, this project will assess stockpiles, incinerator capacity, economic and environmental impacts, and required government actions to support regulatory/strategy coherence and upstream actions such as safe and sustainability by design.
