[[Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating]] or [[WUDS]] that used certain [[wikipedia: Persistent organic pollutant|Persistent Organic Pollutants]] (also known as POPS) as [[wikipedia: Flame retardant|flame retardants]] require treatments that destroy them. Thermal treatment is one of the ways to achieve this and a ban on [[WUDS]] to [[landfill]] and the latest guidelines by the [[EA]] in the form of a Regulatory Position Statement are due to be issued in December 2022 - indicating [[WUDS]] should be sent to [[EfW]] facilities. If [[WUDS]] require shredding prior to being sent to [[EfW]] then there will be implications for dust capture and control.
