### sec.99ZK Recovery amount protocol
A recovery amount protocol is a document, issued by the chief executive, that states the way in which recovery amounts for containers are worked out if the number of containers is not known.
Without limiting subsection (1) , a recovery amount protocol may provide for ways to estimate the number of containers that are intermingled with other recyclable waste, for example—
by sampling quantities of recyclable waste that include containers to work out the proportion of the waste that is containers; and
estimating the number of containers in other quantities of recyclable waste using the proportion worked out from the sampling.
A recovery amount protocol is issued by the chief executive by publishing it on the department’s website.
The chief executive must review a recovery amount protocol—
if the Organisation or the operator of a material recovery facility asks the chief executive, in writing, to review the protocol; or
at other times prescribed by regulation.
