      "markdown": "<a id=\"guide\"></a>\n\n## How to read this schedule\n\nEvery row of the Alberta 2026 schedule is a price for one category of packaging. The unit is Canadian cents per kilogram: the rate is what the scheme charges for each unit of that category that a producer places on the market. Instica shows the figure exactly as Circular Materials Alberta (ARMA PPP) publishes it, with its source and the date Instica read it.\n\nThe source states these rates in Canadian cents, so one hundred of them make one whole unit of CAD. Instica does not round or restate a published figure. For comparison only, Instica also shows each rate as CAD per tonne. That column is arithmetic on the published figure with exact unit factors; the schedule itself is in Canadian cents per kilogram, and the scheme's own invoice decides what is charged.\n\nMatch a category by the scheme's own classification, not by how you describe the product. A bottle and its closure can fall into two rows, and the same material can sit in different rows depending on what it is used for. The code in the first column is the scheme's code, and the material column shows the material the source assigns to it.\n\nAll 33 rows of this schedule carry a published rate.\n\n#### Estimating with this schedule\n\n1. Weigh each packaging component on its own and note its material.\n2. Find the category row that matches the component under the scheme's classification.\n3. Convert your weight to the unit of the row, Canadian cents per kilogram, or compare in the per-tonne column when you only need a ranking.\n4. Multiply the weight by the rate. Instica keeps the rate, the weight and the source together so the estimate can be checked.\n5. Add the flat fees or other fees the schedule lists, if they apply to you.\n6. Review the total, then sign and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal."

When an invoice does not match your estimate, check these in this order.\n\nFirst, the unit. A rate in Canadian cents per kilogram applied to a weight in another unit gives a result that is wrong by a constant factor. Second, the category: a different row can differ by a large amount for the same weight. Third, the period: this page covers the 2026 schedule, and a producer whose reporting period straddles two years may be charged under both.\n\nInstica does not know your contract. Taxes, rebates, minimum charges or membership fees may sit outside the schedule on this page, in CAD or another currency.

This page reproduces 33 categories with the rate the publisher states, in Canadian cents per kilogram, and links every figure to its source document.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-2\"></a>Which unit are the 2026 rates in?\n\nThey are published in Canadian cents per kilogram, in CAD. Instica shows every rate in that unit with the precision of the source. The tables also give CAD per tonne, converted exactly, so schedules that quote pounds or kilograms can be compared.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-3\"></a>Which category is the most expensive in Alberta?\n\nIn the 2026 schedule the highest published rate is 364 for Expanded Polystyrene and the lowest is 31 for Magazines and Catalogues, both in Canadian cents per kilogram. The extremes table above lists the five highest and five lowest categories.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-4\"></a>Can the rates change during the year?\n\nA published schedule changes only when the publisher issues a new version. Instica retrieved this one on November 5, 2026. If the publisher revises it, the page is rebuilt from the new source and the retrieval date moves.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-5\"></a>How do the 2026 rates compare with 2025?\n\nThe change section compares every category priced in both years, with the rate in each year and the change as a percentage. The text above it counts how many rates rose, fell or stayed the same.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-6\"></a>Who files the report and pays the fee?\n\nThe producer does. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures; you check them, sign and submit them yourself in the scheme's own portal. Instica does not file for you and does not store portal credentials.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-7\"></a>Can I use this page to budget my fee?\n\nYes, as an estimate. Find your category in the rates table, multiply the rate by your weight in the same unit, and compare the result with the worked costs. The scheme's invoice decides what you owe.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-8\"></a>How current are these figures?\n\nInstica retrieved the schedule on November 5, 2026. The page shows the retrieval date, the publisher and a short quote from the source next to each rate, so you can check a figure against the original before you rely on it."
