11 Working out recycling target

(1) The recycling target of an approved co‑regulatory arrangement for a financial year is the scheme target for that year multiplied by the co‑regulatory arrangement’s import or manufacture share for that year. (2) The scheme target is the percentage target for a financial year (see Schedule 2) multiplied by the waste arising. (3) Waste arising is worked out using the following method statement:

Method statement

Step 1. For all televisions:

(a) identify the total converted weight of all televisions imported or manufactured in Australia in the last 3 financial years; and

(b) work out the annual average total converted weight of all televisions imported or manufactured in Australia by dividing the result of paragraph (a) by 3; and

(c) multiply the result of paragraph (b) by 0.9.

Step 2. For all computers:

(a) identify the total converted weight of all computers imported in the last 3 financial years; and

(b) work out the annual average total converted weight of all computers imported by dividing the result of paragraph (a) by 3; and

(c) multiply the result of paragraph (b) by 0.72.

Step 3. For all printers:

(a) identify the total converted weight of all printers imported or manufactured in Australia in the last 3 financial years; and

(b) work out the annual average total converted weight of all printers imported or manufactured in Australia by dividing the result of paragraph (a) by 3; and

(c) multiply the result of paragraph (b) by 0.71.

Step 4. For all computer parts and peripherals:

(a) identify the total converted weight of all computer parts and peripherals imported or manufactured in Australia in the last 3 financial years; and

(b) work out the annual average total converted weight of all computer parts and peripherals imported or manufactured in Australia by dividing the result of paragraph (a) by 3; and

(c) multiply the result of paragraph (b) by 0.88.

Step 5. Add together the results of steps 1 to 4. The result is the waste arising.

(4) The import or manufacture share of an approved co‑regulatory arrangement for a financial year (the current financial year) is worked out using the following method statement (taking account of subsection (5) and sections 12 and 13 if relevant):

Method statement

Step 1. For each kind of television or computer product, identify the total number of units imported or manufactured in Australia, in the previous financial year, by all liable parties who are members of the co‑regulatory arrangement during the current financial year.

Step 2. Multiply that number by the conversion factor for that kind of product.

Step 3. For each kind of television or computer product, identify the total number of units exported, in the previous financial year, by all liable parties who are members of the co‑regulatory arrangement on 15 September of the current financial year.

Step 4. Multiply that number by the conversion factor for that kind of product.

Step 5. For each kind of television or computer product, take the result of step 2 and subtract the result of step 4.

Step 6. For all televisions:

(a) add together the results of step 5; and

(b) identify the total converted weight of all televisions imported or manufactured in Australia by all liable parties in the previous financial year; and

(c) from the number identified in paragraph (b), deduct the total converted weight of all televisions reported under section 14 as being exported; and

(d) divide the result of paragraph (a) by the result of paragraph (c); and

(e) divide the result of paragraph (c) of step 1 of the method statement in subsection (3) by the result of step 5 of that method statement; and

(f) multiply the result of paragraph (d) of this step by the result of paragraph (e) of this step.

Step 7. For all computers:

(a) add together the results of step 5; and

(b) identify the total converted weight of all computers imported by all liable parties in the previous financial year; and

(c) from the number identified in paragraph (b), deduct the total converted weight of all computers reported under section 14 as being exported; and

(d) divide the result of paragraph (a) by the result of paragraph (c); and

(e) divide the result of paragraph (c) of step 2 of the method statement in subsection (3) by the result of step 5 of that method statement; and

(f) multiply the result of paragraph (d) of this step by the result of paragraph (e) of this step.

Step 8. For all printers:

(a) add together the results of step 5; and

(b) identify the total converted weight of all printers imported or manufactured in Australia by all liable parties in the previous financial year; and

(c) from the number identified in paragraph (b), deduct the total converted weight of all printers reported under section 14 as being exported; and

(d) divide the result of paragraph (a) by the result of paragraph (c); and

(e) divide the result of paragraph (c) of step 3 of the method statement in subsection (3) by the result of step 5 of that method statement; and

(f) multiply the result of paragraph (d) of this step by the result of paragraph (e) of this step.

Step 9. For all computer parts and peripherals:

(a) add together the results of step 5; and

(b) identify the total converted weight of all computer parts and peripherals imported or manufactured in Australia by all liable parties in the previous financial year; and

(c) from the number identified in paragraph (b), deduct the total converted weight of all computer parts and peripherals reported under section 14 as being exported; and

(d) divide the result of paragraph (a) by the result of paragraph (c); and

(e) divide the result of paragraph (c) of step 4 of the method statement in subsection (3) by the result of step 5 of that method statement; and

(f) multiply the result of paragraph (d) of this step by the result of paragraph (e) of this step.

Step 10. Add together the results of steps 6 to 9. The result is the co‑regulatory arrangement’s import or manufacture share.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4), the approved co‑regulatory arrangement: (a) must use the same conversion factor for steps 2 and 4; and (b) if the conditions in subsection 6(1) are satisfied—must count all products that satisfy those conditions; and (c) if the conditions in subsection 6(2) are satisfied—must count all products that satisfy those conditions; and (d) if the conditions in subsection 6(3) are satisfied—must count all products that satisfy those conditions; and (e) if the conditions in subsection 6(2) are satisfied but the conditions in subsection 6(3) are not satisfied—must count: (i) all products that satisfy the conditions in subsection 6(2); and (ii) all computer parts or peripherals imported or manufactured in Australia by the liable party in the previous financial year; and (f) if the conditions in subsection 6(3) are satisfied but the conditions in subsection 6(2) are not satisfied—must count: (i) all products that satisfy the conditions in subsection 6(3); and (ii) all computers or printers imported or manufactured in Australia by the liable party or a related body corporate in the previous financial year.

Note: Example: If a person imported 6,000 televisions and 6,000 computers in a financial year, the televisions and the computers must be taken into account when working out the import or manufacture share.

Note: However:

(a) if a person imported 6,000 televisions and 2,000 computers (i.e. less than the number of computers mentioned in subsection 6(2)) in a financial year, only the televisions must be counted when working out the import or manufacture share; and
(b) if a person imported 7,000 computers and 14,000 computer parts or peripherals (i.e. less than the number of computer parts or peripherals mentioned in subsection 6(3)), all of those products must be counted when working out the import or manufacture share; and
(c) if a person imported 17,000 computer parts or peripherals and 4,000 computers (i.e. less than the number of computers mentioned in subsection 6(2)), all of those products must be counted when working out the import or manufacture share.
