The operator of a scheme shall carry out the F2recycling obligations and where applicable, consumer information obligations, that every producer who is a member of the scheme that he operates would have had, but for their membership of that scheme.

The operator shall provide a copy of the notice of withdrawal of the scheme’s approval with the written notice provided pursuant to paragraph (2).

The operator of a scheme may only demonstrate compliance with his F2recycling obligations through the acquisition of PRNs or PERNs or both.

A PRN or PERN that relates to packaging waste delivered or exported for reprocessing in December in a year may be relied on by the operator of a scheme to demonstrate compliance with his F2recycling obligations either in that year or the following year.
