For the recycled content exemption, does the exemption/definition apply to the complete package, or only that portion of the package that is made from post- consumer recycled material?
The model legislation language differentiated between the package and packaging components; therefore, the exemption could apply to either or both. For a package where all components contain post consumer recycled content that exceeds the compliance level, the entire package is exempt. However, in the case where one packaging component contains post consumer recycled content and the other components do not, only the component containing post consumer recycled content would be exempt and not the entire package.
