* [[Paper & Card]] 50%
* [[Metal]] 50%
* [[Plastic]] 22.5%
* [[Wood]] 15%
[[Member States]] must continue to meet these minimum standards, but are free to set higher domestic targets if they chose. The provisional figures indicate 70.2% of UK Packaging Waste was either recycled or recovered in 2017 <ref name="dig">[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste 2019] updating some of the 2018 Digest with 2017 data</ref>.
