	180	+If you recycle the production waste from producing a specific Product in a specific Site, and you request CEC Certification for the Product and Site combination, then you can enter the recycling quota in % for the production waste.
	181	+
	182	+The recycling quota is the recycled mass from the production waste specific from producing that type of product (for example PVC card) divided by the total mass of the production waste from producing that type of product.
	183	+
	184	+Note that production waste containing plastic material usually has to be sorted by material type (PVC, PET, PETG) to allow for effective recycling.
	185	+
	186	+During the CEC Assessment the feasability of the recycling approach is verified.
	187	+
	188	+==== Evidence to retain for the assessment ====
	189	+
	190	+You need to demonstrate the following to have your claims for recycling of production waste accepted:
	191	+
	192	+* You maintain records about your production waste, including waste categories differentiating different types of plastics (unless you only use one type of plastic) and other materials (like paper or packaging materials)
	193	+* The amounts of production waste you claim are recylced correlate reasonably with the amounts of waste expected from your production, for example for card producers the amounts of waste resulting from rejects and punch grids/skeletons
	194	+* You have evidence of shipping the correct amounts of material to your recycling provider
	195	+* Your recycling provider confirms receipt of the amounts
	196	+* Your recycling provider provides evidence about the recycling process and the products your production waste is recycled into
	197	+* If you have no historic data because your recycling process is new, then reasonable assumptions may be found acceptable during the CEC Assessment.
	198	+
	199	+=== Product EOL waste recycling quota ===
	200	+
	201	+==== Information to enter ====
	202	+
	203	+If you recycle the product waste at end of life of a specific Product produced in a specific Site, and you request CEC Certification for the Product and Site combination, then you can enter the recycling quota in % for the Product EOL (EOL = End of Life) waste.
	204	+
	205	+The recycling quota is the recycled mass from the product EOL waste specific to that that product divided by the total mass of the product EOL waste of that specific product.

	210	+
	211	+You need to demonstrate the following to have your claims for recycling of product EOL waste accepted:
	212	+
	213	+* You have control of the collection process, and reasonable assumptions about the effort the collection takes
	214	+* You have evidence about the collected amounts of material
	215	+* You have evidence that the collected amounts of material have been forward to recycling providers
	216	+* Your recycling provider confirms receipt of the amounts
	217	+* Your recycling provider provides evidence about the recycling process and the products your production waste is recycled into
