Division 1 The rate of recycled cadmium content is calculated as follows:

United Kingdom

$R_{Cd} = \frac{{Σ m}_{Cd output}}{m_{Cd input}} × 100$ , [mass %]

where:

R_Cd

calculated rate of recycled cadmium (Cd) from a recycling process for the purpose of Article 12(4) of Directive 2006/66/EC [in mass %];

m_{Cd output}

the mass of Cd in output fractions accounting for recycling is the share of Cd contained in these fractions which results from the recycling of nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes].

m_{Cd input}

the mass of Cd in the input fraction entering the battery recycling process is defined as the yearly average Cd content of waste nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators multiplied by the input mass of nickel-cadmium batteries and accumulators per calendar year [in tonnes].
