(“matière organique séparée à la source”) (2) In this Regulation, the following words and expressions have the same meanings as in Regulation 347 of the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990 (General — Waste Management) made under the Act: 1.  Anaerobic digestion output. 2.  Composting. 3.  Municipal waste. (3) For the purposes of the definition of “bio-based content” in subsection (1), bio-based content does not include the component of solid municipal waste that contains, (a)  source separated organics, except for residues generated by the processing of the waste; (b)  compost produced by composting; (c)  anaerobic digestion output; or (d)  leaf and yard waste collected or accepted by a leaf and yard waste system to which section 13 of Ontario Regulation 101/94 (Recycling and Composting of Municipal Waste) made under the Act applies, except for residues generated by the composting of the waste at a leaf and yard waste composting site as defined in Part V of that Regulation.
