WECF is calling on the European Commission to ban the recycling of materials containing toxic flame retardants. In a letter delivered this morning, WECF and partners worldwide highlighted the need to stop flame retardants (DecaBDE) reappearing in recycled products. The issue will be addressed by both the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in September and the Stockholm Convention POPs Review committee in October.
