Determine the manufacturer’s target recycling weight. The department shall calculate the target recycling weight for each manufacturer for the upcoming program year and shall report a manufacturer’s target recycling weight to the manufacturer no later than the August 1 preceding the program year in which the target recycling weight will apply. The department shall calculate a manufacturer’s target recycling weight as follows: 287.17(4)(d)1.a.a. Divide the number of pounds of the manufacturer’s covered electronic devices sold to households or covered schools in this state during the program year that began 2 program years before the beginning of the program year in which the target recycling weight will apply, as reported under sub. (5) (a), by the total weight of all manufacturers’ covered electronic devices sold to households or covered schools in this state during the same program year. The quotient, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth, shall be the manufacturer’s market share percentage. 287.17(4)(d)1.b.b. Multiply the manufacturer’s market share percentage, as calculated under subd. 1. a., by the total weight of eligible electronic devices collected in this state that recyclers received for recycling during the program year that began 2 program years before the beginning of the program year in which the target recycling weight will apply, as reported under sub. (8) (b) 1. The product, rounded to the nearest whole number, shall be the manufacturer’s target recycling weight for the upcoming program year. 287.17(4)(d)2.2. Determine the actual recycling weight by adding the weight of eligible electronic devices recycled by or on behalf of the manufacturer during the previous program year, as determined under par. (f) 1., plus the number of recycling credits that a manufacturer elects to use, as reported to the department under sub. (5) (c) 3. 287.17(4)(d)3.3. Subtract the actual recycling weight, determined under subd. 2., from the target recycling weight, determined under subd. 1. 287.17(4)(d)4.4. Multiply the amount determined under subd. 3. by the estimated cost of recycling determined as follows: 287.17(4)(d)4.a.a. Fifty cents per pound for a manufacturer if the weight of eligible electronic devices recycled by or on behalf of the manufacturer, as determined under subd. 2., is less than 50 percent of the target recycling weight, determined under subd. 1. 287.17(4)(d)4.b.b. Forty cents per pound for a manufacturer if the weight of eligible electronic devices recycled by or on behalf of the manufacturer, as determined under subd. 2., is at least 50 percent but not more than 90 percent of the target recycling weight, determined under subd. 1. 287.17(4)(d)4.c.c. Thirty cents per pound for a manufacturer if the weight of eligible electronic devices recycled by or on behalf of the manufacturer, as determined under subd. 2., is more than 90 percent of the target recycling weight, determined under subd. 1. 287.17(4)(dm)(dm) Target recycling weight for 2010. A manufacturer’s target recycling weight for the last 2 program quarters of program year 2009-10, is calculated by multiplying the number of pounds of the manufacturer’s covered electronic devices sold to households in this state during program year 2007-08, as reported under sub. (5) (a), by 0.8 and multiplying the product by 0.5. 287.17(4)(e)(e) Recycling credits. If, for a program year, the weight of eligible electronic devices recycled by or on behalf of a manufacturer, as determined under par. (f) 1. or 2., exceeds the target recycling weight determined under par. (d) 1. or (dm), the manufacturer has a number of recycling credits equal to the number of excess pounds or 20 percent of the target recycling weight, whichever is less. The manufacturer may use the credits for the purpose of par. (d) 2. for any of the 3 succeeding program years or may sell credits to another manufacturer for use for any of the 3 succeeding program years.
