Recycling data17A

1

Where information in a report submitted by a large producer (“LP”) under regulation 17 in relation to a period of six months ending on or after 30 June 2024 (“regulation 17 report”) concerns packaging which has already been the subject of a recycling obligation under regulation 4(4)(b) of, and Schedule 2 to, the 2007 Regulations (“relevant packaging”), LP may choose to submit a report under paragraph (2) of this regulation (a “regulation 17A report”).

2

A regulation 17A report must state the proportion of relevant packaging which LP has been required to recycle under the 2007 Regulations (“P”), calculated as follows—

$$P=AP\times SP$$

where—

1. a

   “AP” is the amount in kilograms of relevant packaging which has previously been taken into account to calculate the recycling obligations of a producer under the 2007 Regulations;

2. b

   “SP” is the sum of the percentages of that packaging which any class of producer has been required to recycle under the 2007 Regulations, as set out in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 to those Regulations.

3

Where LP chooses to submit a regulation 17A report, LP must submit the report—

a

in such form as NRW may direct;

b

on the date on which LP submits a regulation 17 report or such other date as NRW may direct.

Where a regulation 17A report is not submitted on the same date as the regulation 17 report, the regulation 17A report must also identify the data collection period it relates to.

In this regulation, “the 2007 Regulations” means the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 20079.
