The draft statutory instrument: If in the preceding yr the producer handled

any glass ( as pkg or pkg materials), they shall recycle by re-melt calculated as follows: -

L x B x W = G

L = to the nearest tonne glass handled in Great Britain by the producer in the preceding year;

B = % prescribed in para 4 in relation to the class of producer [raw materials, converter, pack/fill and seller proportionate obligation];

W = % prescribed in para 6A as re-melt target for the relevant yr [ 63% from 2013 to 2014 inclusive, and 64% in 2016 and 2017 ];

G = producer target for remelt in the relevant year.

Waste Processing at MRFs

• MRF Code of Practice

• Quality Action Plan

• PRN / PERN review

• Pre Xmas 2012 DEFRA consultation?....other Govt Department views

• No mandatory quality standards for recyclates

MRF Code of Practice

• Sampling and compositional analysis of inputs and main outputs (paper, glass, plastic and metals)

• 3yr record keeping

• 1/4ly reporting to the regulator

• Independent audits

• All permitted MRFs

Quality Action Plan

• Voluntary system for dry recyclates quality

• Enhanced enforcement of the EU Waste Shipment Regs

• Amendment of the PRN / PERN systems to even up the playing field

• Statutory guidance by DEFRA on the revised Waste Framework Directive separate collections requirement

Markets

• One of the most important issues identified by CIWM Members in our Professional Perspectives report

• Existing materials

• “New” materials

• Export - materials and / or energy (SRF)

• “It will become increasingly important in the years to come to retain as much of our precious resources as possible, rather than send [it] overseas”
