For rigid plastic packaging containers for which compliance is claimed through the use of postconsumer material (PCM) content pursuant to Section 17944(a)(1), use the following formulas:
where:
WPCM = the weight of postconsumer material in each rigid plastic packaging container
WRPPC = the total weight of each rigid plastic packaging container
where:
WPCM = the weight of postconsumer material in each rigid plastic packaging container
WRPPC = the total weight of each rigid plastic packaging container
n = the number of container lines being averaged
For compliance claimed through use of California postconsumer material pursuant to Section 17944.1, use the following formula:
where:
WPCM = the weight of postconsumer material in each rigid plastic packaging container
NRPPC = the number of rigid plastic packaging containers
WOPP = the weight of postconsumer material in each other (i.e., non-RPPC) plastic packaging container or plastic product
NOPP = the number of other (non-RPPC) plastic packaging containers or units of plastic products
n = the number of container (or other plastic packaging or plastic product) lines being averaged
WRPPC = the total weight of the rigid plastic packaging containers in the rigid plastic packaging container lines
To comply under this option, the postconsumer material content must be equal to or greater than 25.00 percent.
For rigid plastic packaging containers for which compliance is claimed through source reduction pursuant to Section 17944(a)(4), use the following formulas:
where:
WN = the weight of the non-source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
WS = the weight of the source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
where:
USEN = units of use of the non-source reduced product
USES = units of use of the source reduced (concentrated) product
where:
WN = the weight of the non-source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
USEN = units of use of the non-source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
WS = the weight of the source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
USES = units of use of the source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
where:
WN = the weight of the non-source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
USEN = units of use of the non-source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
WS = the weight of the source reduced rigid plastic packaging container USES = units of use of the source reduced rigid plastic packaging container
n = the number of container lines being averaged
For rigid plastic packaging containers for which compliance is claimed through reuse of the containers pursuant to Section 17944(a)(3), use the following formulas for the given measurement period:
where:
R = the number of replacement product packages sold during the period
P = the number of original rigid plastic packaging containers sold during the period
VR = the volume of the replacement product package
VP = the volume of the original rigid plastic packaging container
where:
R = the number of replacement product packages sold during the period
P = the number of original rigid plastic packaging containers sold during the period
VR = the volume of the replacement product package
VP = the volume of the original rigid plastic packaging container
n = the number of container lines being averaged
For rigid plastic packaging containers for which compliance is claimed through the refilling of the container by the product manufacturer pursuant to Section 17944(a)(3), use the following formulas for the given measurement period:
Average Refills Per Container = F/P
where:
F = the number of refills of rigid plastic packaging containers made by the product manufacturer during the period
P = the number of original rigid plastic packaging containers sold during the measurement period
where:
F = the number of refills of rigid plastic packaging containers made by the product manufacturer during the period
P = the number of original rigid plastic packaging containers sold during the measurement period
n = the number of container lines being averaged
