THE CHALLENGE WE SEE
Navigating complex POP waste regulations with reliability and full compliance
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) can be a particularly sensitive issue — especially for global companies, where regulatory and reputational concerns often extend beyond Singapore alone. Identifying POPs is just the first step. Finding a trusted, licensed service provider for their safe POP waste disposal in Singapore can be challenging, as specific regulatory licences are not publicly available. At Veolia, we understand the importance of confidentiality, compliance, and expertise. Our teams work closely with clients to deliver secure and fully compliant POP waste solutions — tailored to your operational and corporate requirements.
REGULATORY FOCUS
Responsible Management of POPs in Singapore
Singapore is a signatory to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), a global treaty aimed at protecting human health and the environment from highly toxic and persistent chemicals. In line with this commitment, the National Environment Agency (NEA) enforces strict licensing requirements for the management of these hazardous wastes. Veolia’s operations comply fully with these regulations, ensuring safe and lawful handling of POP waste in Singapore.
OUR SOLUTION
Integrated Service for POP Waste Management
Veolia ensures safe and compliant POP disposal, from identification to high-temperature treatment and certified destruction.
Treatment Solutions for POP Waste
The safe destruction of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) typically requires incineration under strictly controlled conditions — particularly high combustion temperatures. At our Tuas facility, Veolia operates an energy recovery incinerator capable of maintaining temperatures above 1100 °C, in line with regulatory requirements for most POP substances. Leveraging our global hazardous waste expertise and network, Veolia also develops tailored treatment solutions for specific POP waste streams, ensuring both compliance and operational flexibility for our clients.

- The licensing process with NEA, which includes the yearly and POP specific “performance tests”, witnessed by NEA’s inspectors.
