| 2. | Quality requirements for the output fractions: (a) the total copper content of the main steel fraction shall not exceed 0,25 % on a weight basis; as from 1 September 2031, the total copper content of the main steel fraction shall not exceed 0,15 % on a weight basis; (b) by 1 September 2029, aluminium shall be sorted as a minimum into two fractions: (i) cast aluminium (fractions with a silicon content higher than 1,5 %); (ii) wrought aluminium (fractions with a silicon content equal or lower than 1,5 %); (c) by 1 September 2032, aluminium shall be sorted as a minimum into four fractions: (i) aluminium fraction with silicon content higher than 1,5 %, copper content equal or lower than 0,5 % and iron content equal or lower than 0,2 %; (ii) aluminium fraction with silicon content higher than 1,5 % and that does not meet the composition requirements of subpoint (i) for copper and iron; (iii) aluminium fraction with silicon content equal or lower than 1,5 %, magnesium equal or lower than 1,5 %, copper content equal or lower than 0,3 % and zinc content equal or lower than 0,3 %; (iv) aluminium fraction with silicon content equal or lower than 1,5 % and that does not meet the composition requirements of subpoint (iii) for magnesium, copper and zinc; (d) The shredder heavy fraction derived after air separation and separation of iron, shall be further treated with the aim to separate ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics and other organic materials for recycling or recovery. The residue of these processes shall contain less than 1 % of metal content by weight and, in accordance with Council Decision 2003/33/EC (1), less than 5 % of total organic carbon by weight; the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) limit of < 5 % by weight does not apply if the shredder heavy fraction properly selected and reconditioned, is biologically stable according to current legislation; (e) the shredder light fraction shall be further treated with the aim to separate ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics and other organic materials for recycling or recovery; the residue of these processes shall contain less than 1 % of metal content by weight and, in accordance with Decision 2003/33/EC, less than 5 % of total organic carbon by weight; the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) limit of < 5 % by weight does not apply if the shredder light fraction, properly selected and reconditioned, is biologically stable, according to current legislation.
