49 Meaning of “plastic” and “recycled plastic” , “recycled plastic” and “attributed recycled plastic”
(1) “Plastic” means a material consisting of a polymer, other than a cellulose-based polymer that has not been chemically modified, to which additives or other substances may have been added.
(2) “Recycled plastic” is plastic that has been reprocessed from recovered material by means of a chemical or manufacturing process, other than organic recycling, so that it can be used either for its original purpose or for other purposes.
(2A) “Attributed recycled plastic” is plastic to which recovered material has been attributed in accordance with a chemical recycling certification scheme.
(3) “Organic recycling” means the aerobic or anaerobic treatment, under controlled conditions and using micro-organisms, of biodegradable matter, which produces stabilised organic residues or methane.
(4) “Recovered material” is pre-consumer plastic or post-consumer plastic that—
(a) has been collected and recovered as a material input, in lieu of new primary material, for a recycling or a manufacturing process, and
(b) would otherwise have been disposed of as waste or used for energy recovery.
(5) “Pre-consumer plastic” is plastic that is—
(a) recovered from waste generated in a manufacturing process, and
(b) processed by a reprocessing facility,
but does not include plastic that is reused in the same process in which it was generated as scrap and from which it was recovered.
(6) “Post-consumer plastic” is plastic—
(a) that is generated by households or by commercial, industrial or institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product, and
(b) that can no longer be used for its intended purpose.
This includes returns of plastic from the distribution chain.
(7) Plastic is not to be taken as recycled plastic unless it is shown that it is recycled plastic.
(7A) Plastic is not to be taken as attributed recycled plastic unless it is shown that it is attributed recycled plastic.

(10) The Commissioners may by regulations make provision about the methodology to be used, or the information or evidence required, to satisfy them that plastic is recycled plastic or attributed recycled plastic.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
