Section 7 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

7. Every business that markets filters referred to in section 4 under a trademark it owns or uses is required, through a recovery system that meets the minimum specifications described in Schedule III, to recover or to see to the recovery of used filters deposited at the collection points provided for in the system and that are of the same type as the filters it markets. That business is also required to recover or to see to the recovery of any container or packaging used in the transport of the filters back to the collection points.

As of 1 January 2005, the recovery system prescribed in the first paragraph must ensure a minimum rate of recovery of used filters that equals, in weight or in number of units, the following percentages, calculated on the basis of the filters that the business markets annually:

— 50%, as of 2005;

— 75%, as of 2008.

For the above calculations, the recovered filters must be drained of all freely dripping oil or other liquid.
