B1.5 PACKAGING DIRECTIVE [European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste] Member States are required by the packaging directive to report as follows: For primary, secondary and tertiary packaging: • quantities, for each broad category of material, of packaging consumed within the country (produced + imported - exported); and • quantities reused. For household and non-household packaging waste: • quantities for each broad category of material, recovered and disposed of within the country (produced + imported - exported); and • quantities recycled and quantities recovered for each broad category of material. In the UK, the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (SI 1997 No. 648) oblige all companies to report on the packaging waste they have generated in the previous calendar year, provided that they have a turnover above £2M and generate in excess of 50 tonnes of packaging waste. These companies are set separate targets for the total packaging waste that must be recovered and also individual recycling targets for the key material streams. The European Directive is currently being reviewed and the revision will set new targets for the recovery and recycling of packaging waste for either 2006 or 2008. B1.6 WASTE OILS DIRECTIVE [Council Directive 87/101/EEC amending Directive 75/439/EEC on the disposal of Waste Oils] The Waste Oils Directive stipulates how waste mineral oils must be handled. Any establishment producing, collecting and/or disposing of a certain amount of waste oils per year must keep records of the quantity, quality, origin and location of such oils and of their despatch and receipt, including the dates of the latter, and there are also auditing and permitting requirements. The Waste Oils Directive requires companies generating waste mineral oil to report arisings triennially.
B1.7 END-OF-LIFE VEHICLES DIRECTIVE [Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Endof Life Vehicles (ELVs)] The ELV Directive sets minimum levels of recovery, re-use and recycling for ELVs. Since the obligations fall upon the receiving company, and, through them, the original producer, the only businesses affected are those that produce new vehicles and those that receive ELVs. Their obligations are to publish information on the following: • the design of vehicles and their components with a view to their recoverability and recyclability; • the environmentally sound treatment of end-of life vehicles, in particular the removal of all fluids and dismantling; • the development and optimisation of ways to reuse, recycle and recover end-of life vehicles and their components; and • the progress achieved with regard to recovery and recycling to reduce the waste to be disposed of and to increase the recovery and recycling rates. Member States are obliged to send triennial reports to the European Commission on the implementation of the Directive, and will thus require data from the producers and receivers. In particular, the ELV receivers will need to generate data on the levels of ‘waste’ they have handled and processed. The relationship between the WSR and the ELV Directive is very similar to that between the WSR and the WEEE Directive (see below) in its current draft form. In both product Directives, there is no apparent obligation to report the various sources separately. It is therefore probable that arisings from domestic, commercial and industrial origins will all be rolled up into total figures for reporting by Member States. However, if the government collects statistics on these products on a company-by-company basis, these can be aggregated by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) (using the Inter Departmental Business Register, IDBR) for the purposes of reporting for the WSR, and totalled, together with domestic arisings, for the ELV and WEEE Directives. This then satisfies the reporting needs of all three pieces of legislation without repeating the surveys.
