Paragraph 2

The amount of packaging waste to be recycled by a producer (“PR”) in a packaging waste category corresponding to a packaging category which PR supplies is calculated as follows—

$$X\times Y=Z$$

where—

• “X” is the amount in tonnes of packaging in that packaging category supplied by PR in the preceding year;

• “Y” is the percentage prescribed in paragraph 3 as the recycling target for that packaging waste category for the relevant year; and

• “Z” is the amount in tonnes of packaging waste in that packaging waste category which is to be recycled in the relevant year.

Where in the preceding year PR has supplied any glass packaging, PR must recycle by re-melt an amount of glass packaging waste calculated as follows—

$$T\left(L\times Y\right)=G$$

where—

• “T” is the percentage target prescribed in paragraph 4 for the relevant year;

• “L” is the amount in tonnes of glass packaging supplied by PR in the preceding year;

• “Y” is the percentage prescribed in paragraph 3 as the recycling target for glass for the relevant year; and

• “G” is the amount in tonnes of glass packaging waste which is to be recycled by re-melt in the relevant year.

For the purposes of calculating X in sub-paragraph (1) and L in sub-paragraph (2), the amount of packaging in a packaging category, or glass packaging, supplied by PR is the amount supplied by PR in the United Kingdom in respect of which PR is a producer under any of regulations 16 to 21, calculated to the nearest tonne, excluding packaging which is exempt packaging either at the time of its supply or in the relevant year.
