POP Guidelines for Disposal of POP-Containing Upholstered Items
In August 2022, the Environment Agency issued guidance outlining the legal responsibilities for handling waste upholstered domestic seating (WUDS), due to the presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the foam and textiles.
As of 2025, any upholstered furniture containing POPs must be carefully managed to ensure it is:
- Not disposed of in landfill
- Kept separate from non-POP waste
- Not reused or recycled unless all POP-containing materials have been safely removed and destroyed at authorised facilities

What if there is more or less waste than expected?
Which upholstered furniture items are affected by POP regulations?
POP regulations mean that certain upholstered furniture containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) must be handled, stored, and disposed of with great care to protect the environment.
Because of these rules, the management of this type of waste is strictly controlled, which can impact the cost of collection and disposal. These guidelines apply to the following waste upholstered domestic seating (WUDS):
- Sofa
- Armchair
- Beanbag
- Cushion
- Office chair
- Stool
- Dining chair
