Briefing: POPs and the Circular Economy
Why are POPs so dangerous?
Which challenges do we face in a circular economy?
What can we do to prevent toxic recycling?
How can we safely get rid of POPs that we are already using?

Recycling materials containing toxic chemicals contaminates the resulting products and continues the legacy of hazardous emissions and increases exposures. In order to be able to develop a circular economy we need to ensure that material loops are free of toxic chemicals.
