The proportion of the packaging waste referred to in sub-paragraph (1) which is to be recovered by recycling, in relation to a class of producer to which the producer belongs in the years F32012 to 2017 is not less than 92% of the amount by tonnage of packaging waste represented by “Z” in sub-paragraph (1).

M × C × Y = Qmath

where—

  • “M” is the amount in tonnes to the nearest tonne of the recyclable material (whether in the form of packaging or packaging materials) handled in the United Kingdom by the producer in the preceding year;

  • “C” is the percentage prescribed in paragraph 4 below in relation to the class of producer;

  • F6...

  • “Y” is the percentage prescribed in paragraph 6 as the recycling target in respect of glass in relation to the relevant year; and
