Paragraph 22
In this Part, a reference to the weight of packaging waste received for recycling is to the weight in tonnes of the recyclable proportion of that packaging waste, calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).
The recyclable proportion may be calculated as one of the following amounts—
the actual weight of packaging waste in a category received by the reprocessor for recycling, or by the exporter for exporting to an overseas reprocessing site for recycling, after deduction of everything which is not packaging waste in that category;
the percentage of packaging waste specified in any protocol for packaging waste recycling which is approved by the appropriate agencies as applying to recycling of that category of packaging waste; or
the amount identified by applying the sampling and inspection plan approved by the appropriate agency under regulation 97(1)(a) in relation to the category of packaging waste in question.
The “recyclable proportion” is not to include any packaging waste which—
is not in the same category of packaging waste as the waste being recycled; or
does not originate in the United Kingdom.
