Answer:

The main requirements regarding significant environmental aspects is not to set environmental objectives regarding them (although it is recommendable) but to set operational controls to keep the impact of the aspects within acceptable boundaries. The objectives are short term and they provide effects withing their deadline while the operational controls are long term measures to decrease environmental impact.

You do not need to set a new objective regarding this environmental aspect but you should set the operational control for it. For more information about environmental aspects and operational controls, see: Defining and implementing operati onal control in ISO 14001:2015 https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2016/04/11/defining-and-implementing-operational-control-in-iso-140012015/140012015/
