Target material
The target material is the material that ultimately needs to be recycled into a new raw material. Usually, this is the most common material in the disposable unit, often the material of the main component.
Exception: if a sub-component (such as a heavy steel cap) is heavier than the main component, then the sub-component constitutes the target material.
If a sub-component is made of exactly the same material as the main component (e.g. paper label on a cardboard box or PE cap on a PE bottle), then this counts towards the target material. Properties such as color, additives and printing of these sub-components must be taken into account in the assessment of the Recycle Check and in Fee Modulation.
