Paragraph 1

In this Schedule, all references to the weight of packaging or packaging waste are to that weight in kilograms, and any requirement to report a weight of packaging or packaging waste is to be interpreted as a requirement to report the actual, measured weight of that packaging in kilograms to the nearest kilogram.

Where packaging sub-categories have been specified under regulation 7(11) for a packaging category (“the sub-divided packaging category”) for the purposes of a paragraph of this Schedule, any reference in that paragraph to a packaging category is to be read, in relation to the sub-divided packaging category, as a reference to those packaging sub-categories.

Where this Schedule refers to the weight of household packaging, or a description of household packaging, which a producer supplied, packaging may only be excluded from that weight under regulation 8(1)(a) on the grounds that the conditions in regulation 8(2) or the conditions in regulation 8(3) are met if the producer can provide evidence that those conditions are met.

In this Schedule, references to packaging, or to any description of packaging, do not include packaging which at the time of its supply was exempt packaging.
