Paragraph 24 Conditions applying to reprocessors
A reprocessor may only issue a PRN in relation to packaging waste if the packaging waste is received for recycling at a reprocessing site, and is of a category of packaging waste, for which the reprocessor has an accreditation at the time the waste is received.
A reprocessor may not issue a PRN for more than the recyclable proportion, as calculated in accordance with paragraph 22, of packaging waste which meets the conditions in sub-paragraph (1).
A reprocessor must not, in relation to a category of packaging waste and a reprocessing site, issue PRNs for more packaging waste than—
the upper limit of the tonnage band for which the reprocessor is accredited; or
the amount which the reprocessor has capacity to recycle at that reprocessing site by the end of the year after the year in which it is received.
A reprocessor must ensure that any PRN it issues which relates to packaging waste received for recycling in December of a year specifies that fact.
A reprocessor must recycle at the reprocessing site at least the amount of packaging waste in each category received at that site for which it has issued PRNs, by no later than the end of the year following the year in which the packaging waste was received at the site.
