These Regulations amend the recovery and recycling targets in Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations for 2002 onwards. These targets are used to calculate recovery and recycling obligations. Regulation 2(a) increases the target for recovery from 56% to 60% and regulation 2(b) increases the target for recycling from 18% to 19%.
