A number of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. This act would amend the limit value for the presence of those PBDEs in mixtures or articles.

European Environmental Bureau, 18 Mar 2025

This advances their mission to eliminate toxic chemicals from consumer products and material cycles.

Recycling industry faces higher costs to screen and remove contaminated materials from supply chains.
