(A) The secondary material contains a hazardous constituent defined in 40 CFR 261, Appendix VII not found in the analogous raw material or at greater levels than the analogous raw material;

(B) The secondary material exhibits a hazardous characteristic that the analogous raw material does not;

(C) The secondary material is being used in excess of the amount of raw material that would otherwise be used;

(D) The recycling process (including storage) is likely to release hazardous constituents or otherwise pose risks to human health or the environment that are different from or greater than the risks posed by the processing of an analogous raw material or product;

(E) The secondary material to be recycled does not have value as a raw material or product and there is no guaranteed market for the end product;

(F) The secondary material is not handled in a manner consistent with the raw material or product it replaces;

(G) The toxic constituent in the secondary material is useful in the production of the product or the product itself;

(H) Economics of the recycling process; or

(I) Other factors the Director deems relevant.

(ii) No process in which liquids, solids, sludges, or dissolved constituents are collected or separated in process units for recycling, recovery, or reuse including the recovery of energy, within a continuous or batch manufacturing or refining process shall be considered a sham recycling activity under this Section.
