# Austria EPR fee rates 2026: published rates, modulation and change Last verified: September 29, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/austria/fees/2026 The 2026 packaging fee schedule for Austria lists 22 categories with a rate in EUR per kilogram. Rates run from 0.020 for Wood, commercial to 1.140 for Other composite materials, household. Instica read each figure from the publisher's schedule, retrieved September 29, 2026. ## What the schedule covers Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff sets the packaging fees for Austria in 2026. It applies from January 1, 2026 until the publisher replaces it, and every rate is stated in EUR per kilogram, in EUR. The schedule lists 22 categories, spread over 11 material groups such as paper, glass, ferrous metal and aluminium. Every category carries a published rate. Instica read the schedule from the publisher's own document and last retrieved it on September 29, 2026. Rates keep the precision with which they were published. Where the publisher quotes a different weight unit, the tables add a per-tonne column, converted exactly, so schedules can be set side by side. > LIST OF TARIFF RATES 2026 > > Source: Austria 2026: Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff (https://www.ara.at/uploads/Dokumente/Tarifbl%C3%A4tter/ARA-tariff-rates-2026.pdf), Retrieved: September 29, 2026, Language: en ## How the fee is built The base of the fee is a rate per kilogram of packaging placed on the market, by material (11 material groups here). The scheme also lists other charges that do not depend on weight. > **Not yet published**: Eco-modulation is not yet published for this schedule. The fetched ARA tariff sheet lists no eco-modulation; single-use plastic surcharges are on a separate sheet (Einwegkunststoff-Tarife 2026) that was not readable as text. #### Other charges Besides the weight-based rates, the schedule lists these charges. Each is shown with the basis the publisher gives for it. **Other charges in the Austria 2026 schedule** | Charge | Basis | Amount | | --- | --- | ---: | | ARA minimum fee | per ARA Terms and Conditions VII.4 | [90 EUR per calendar year excl. VAT](#other-fee-ara-minimum-fee) | | ARA flat fee | per ARA Terms and Conditions VII.5 | [150 EUR per calendar year excl. VAT](#other-fee-ara-flat-fee) | | ARA standard fee | per ARA Terms and Conditions XVI.5 | [3,000 EUR excl. VAT](#other-fee-ara-standard-fee) | ## Every published rate The table lists all 22 categories of the schedule with the rate exactly as published, in EUR per kilogram. The last column converts each rate to EUR per tonne (1 tonne is 1,000 kg; 1 lb is 0.45359237 kg) so it can be compared with other schedules. **Published packaging fee rates, Austria 2026** | Code | Category | Material | Rate (EUR per kilogram) | Converted (EUR per tonne) | | --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | | `1.01.0` | Paper, household | paper | [0.208](#rate-1-01-0) | 208.00 | | `1.02.0` | Glass, household | glass | [0.108](#rate-1-02-0) | 108.00 | | `1.03.1` | Ferrous metal, household | ferrous metal | [0.450](#rate-1-03-1) | 450.00 | | `1.03.2` | Aluminium, household | aluminium | [0.480](#rate-1-03-2) | 480.00 | | `1.04.1` | Plastic, household | plastic | [1.040](#rate-1-04-1) | 1,040.00 | | `1.04.2` | Beverage cartons, household | beverage carton | [1.020](#rate-1-04-2) | 1,020.00 | | `1.04.3` | Other composite materials, household | composite | [1.140](#rate-1-04-3) | 1,140.00 | | `1.04.4` | Ceramics, household | ceramics | [0.140](#rate-1-04-4) | 140.00 | | `1.04.5` | Wood, household | wood | [0.020](#rate-1-04-5) | 20.00 | | `1.04.6` | Textile fibres, household | textile | [0.200](#rate-1-04-6) | 200.00 | | `1.04.7` | Biodegradable materials, household | biodegradable | [0.550](#rate-1-04-7) | 550.00 | | `2.01.0` | Paper, commercial | paper | [0.070](#rate-2-01-0) | 70.00 | | `2.03.1` | Ferrous metal, commercial | ferrous metal | [0.070](#rate-2-03-1) | 70.00 | | `2.03.2` | Aluminium, commercial | aluminium | [0.090](#rate-2-03-2) | 90.00 | | `2.04.1` | Foils, commercial | plastic | [0.180](#rate-2-04-1) | 180.00 | | `2.04.2` | Moulded containers, commercial | plastic | [0.100](#rate-2-04-2) | 100.00 | | `2.05.0` | EPS, commercial | plastic | [0.350](#rate-2-05-0) | 350.00 | | `2.07.0` | Other composite materials, commercial | composite | [0.100](#rate-2-07-0) | 100.00 | | `2.08.0` | Ceramics, commercial | ceramics | [0.100](#rate-2-08-0) | 100.00 | | `2.09.0` | Wood, commercial | wood | [0.020](#rate-2-09-0) | 20.00 | | `2.10.0` | Textile fibres, commercial | textile | [0.100](#rate-2-10-0) | 100.00 | | `2.11.0` | Biodegradable materials, commercial | biodegradable | [0.100](#rate-2-11-0) | 100.00 | ## The most and least expensive categories These are the 5 categories with the highest and the lowest published rate in Austria for 2026. The ranking uses the per-tonne figure where the schedule can be converted, so every row is on the same scale. **Highest published rates, Austria 2026** | Rank | Category | Published rate | EUR per tonne | | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | | 1 | Other composite materials, household | [1.140](#rate-1-04-3) | 1,140.00 | | 2 | Plastic, household | [1.040](#rate-1-04-1) | 1,040.00 | | 3 | Beverage cartons, household | [1.020](#rate-1-04-2) | 1,020.00 | | 4 | Biodegradable materials, household | [0.550](#rate-1-04-7) | 550.00 | | 5 | Aluminium, household | [0.480](#rate-1-03-2) | 480.00 | **Lowest published rates, Austria 2026** | Rank | Category | Published rate | EUR per tonne | | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | | 1 | Wood, commercial | [0.020](#rate-2-09-0) | 20.00 | | 2 | Wood, household | [0.020](#rate-1-04-5) | 20.00 | | 3 | Ferrous metal, commercial | [0.070](#rate-2-03-1) | 70.00 | | 4 | Paper, commercial | [0.070](#rate-2-01-0) | 70.00 | | 5 | Aluminium, commercial | [0.090](#rate-2-03-2) | 90.00 | Across the schedule the spread between the highest and the lowest rate is 1,120.00 EUR per tonne, a factor of 57.0. The mean rate is 301.64 and the median 124.00 EUR per tonne. These are plain averages over the listed categories, not weighted by tonnage. ## Rates by material group The schedule groups its categories into 11 material groups. For each group the table shows how many priced categories it holds and the lowest, highest and mean per-tonne rate. A wide range inside one group means the pack format matters as much as the material. **Per-tonne rates by material group, Austria 2026** | Group | Material class | Categories | Lowest (EUR per tonne) | Highest (EUR per tonne) | Mean (EUR per tonne) | | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | paper | Paper and card | 2 | 70.00 | 208.00 | [139.00](#group-paper) | | glass | Glass | 1 | 108.00 | 108.00 | [108.00](#group-glass) | | ferrous metal | Steel | 2 | 70.00 | 450.00 | [260.00](#group-ferrous-metal) | | aluminium | Aluminium | 2 | 90.00 | 480.00 | [285.00](#group-aluminium) | | plastic | Plastic | 4 | 100.00 | 1,040.00 | [417.50](#group-plastic) | | beverage carton | Composite and cartons | 1 | 1,020.00 | 1,020.00 | [1,020.00](#group-beverage-carton) | | composite | Composite and cartons | 2 | 100.00 | 1,140.00 | [620.00](#group-composite) | | ceramics | Ceramic | 2 | 100.00 | 140.00 | [120.00](#group-ceramics) | | wood | Wood and organics | 2 | 20.00 | 20.00 | [20.00](#group-wood) | | textile | Textile | 2 | 100.00 | 200.00 | [150.00](#group-textile) | | biodegradable | Compostable | 2 | 100.00 | 550.00 | [325.00](#group-biodegradable) | ## Who pays and when The fee schedule is only half of the picture. Whether a producer pays it, and by when, depends on the rules of Austria. This section reads them from Instica's verified record of the jurisdiction. The regime is: Austrian packaging EPR: AWG 2002 (Abfallwirtschaftsgesetz 2002) and Verpackungsverordnung 2014 (VVO 2014). #### Thresholds 2 thresholds decide whether a producer must register, pay or report, or may use a simpler route. Each row gives the measure, the amount and what happens at it. **Thresholds in Austria** | Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis | | --- | ---: | --- | --- | | Weight of packaging | [1500 kg per calendar year](#threshold-flat-solution-1500kg-household) | Flat-fee band | household packaging put on the market | | Weight of packaging | [1500 kg per calendar year](#threshold-flat-solution-1500kg-commercial) | Flat-fee band | commercial packaging put on the market | #### Exemptions 1 exemption exists. The last column says whether the producer has to apply for it or whether it applies automatically. **Exemptions in Austria** | Exemption | Description | Application needed | | --- | --- | :---: | | `upstream-participation` | Participation duty lapses where an upstream distributor already participates in a system | No | #### Registration Producers must register in Austria. The register is Register nach § 22 AWG 2002 (Bevollmächtigter entry) and contract with an approved collection and recycling system. Who registers: The Austrian Bevollmächtigter registers for the foreign distance seller; a primary obligated party concludes a participation contract with a system within two months of first putting household packaging on the market. #### Who runs the scheme Austria uses more than one producer responsibility organisation: Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA). Membership is required. #### Dates 10 dates fall in this regime. Dates that the source has not published yet are shown as not yet published. **Deadlines in Austria** | What | Date | Period covered | | --- | --- | --- | | Registration | Not yet published | | | Report | Not yet published | preceding calendar year | | Registration | [January 1, 2023](#deadline-ar-appointment-2023) | | | Other | [August 12, 2026](#deadline-ppwr-application) | | | Report | Not yet published | | | Report | Not yet published | preceding calendar year | | Report | Not yet published | preceding calendar year | | Report | Not yet published | preceding calendar year | | Other | Not yet published | | | Report | Not yet published | preceding calendar year | #### Penalties The source states these penalties. They are listed so a producer knows what is at stake; Instica does not calculate or advise on them. **Penalties in Austria** | Violation | Amount | | --- | ---: | | Non-participation in a system contrary to AWG 13g(2) to (4) (administrative offence) | €450 to €8,400 per offence | #### Targets The regime sets these recycling or recovery targets. **Targets in Austria** | Measure | Target | By | | --- | ---: | --- | | `share of household packaging mass to be collected separately, per system total` | [paper 80%, glass 80%, ferrous 65%, aluminium 65%, plastics 80%, beverage cartons 80%](#target-collection-household-2025) | from 2025 | | `same measure` | [paper 85%, glass 85%, ferrous 75%, aluminium 75%, plastics 85%, beverage cartons 80%](#target-collection-household-2030) | from 2030 | ## Data period and invoice timing The 2026 schedule for Austria is effective from January 1, 2026 with no end date published. The publisher does not state a separate data period, so use the supply of the fee year. Rates are in EUR. A rate changes only when the publisher issues a new schedule, so a figure on this page stays valid for the year shown and is not adjusted for inflation or exchange rates by Instica. The scheme sends the invoice. When an invoice and this page differ, the invoice is what you owe; use the page to check the rate per category and to estimate the fee before the invoice arrives. ## Worked costs for common packs The table prices nine typical packs from Instica's packaging templates. For each material in the pack, the weight in grams is multiplied by the mean EUR per tonne rate of that material class in the Austria 2026 schedule, and the sum is the fee for 1,000 packs. It is an estimate for orientation: the real category of your pack decides the actual rate. **Estimated fee per 1,000 packs, Austria 2026** | Pack | Weight by material | Estimated fee, 1,000 packs (EUR) | | --- | --- | ---: | | Bag, Small (lunch bag) | Paper and card 20 g | [€2.78](#worked-bag) | | Pouch, Packet (about 1 to 2 oz) | Composite and cartons 4 g | [€3.01](#worked-pouch) | | Jar, Small (about 4 oz) | Glass 110 g + Steel 7 g + Paper and card 1 g | [€13.84](#worked-jar) | | Bottle, Small (about 12 oz) | Plastic 15 g + Plastic 2 g | [€7.10](#worked-bottle) | | Can, Standard (12 oz) | Aluminium 14 g | [€3.99](#worked-can) | | Tin, Small (mint or balm tin) | Steel 20 g | [€5.20](#worked-tin) | | Carton, Small (soap or tea box) | Paper and card 15 g | [€2.09](#worked-carton) | | Mailer, Small (about 8 x 6 x 4 in) | Paper and card 90 g | [€12.51](#worked-mailer) | > **Note**: These costs use class means, not the rate of your exact category. Look your pack up in the rates table above before you budget. ## How it compares Rates can only be compared in the same currency, so this section sets Austria against the 18 other schedules in Instica's data that are priced in EUR and convert to a per-tonne figure. No exchange rate is applied. **Austria 2026 against other EUR schedules, by material class** | Material class | Austria mean (EUR per tonne) | Median of the others | Range of the others | Rank | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | Composite and cartons | 753.33 | 429.43 | 70.50 – 1,250.00 | [4 / 14](#class-composite) | | Plastic | 417.50 | 417.50 | 70.50 – 14,418.00 | [8 / 15](#class-plastic) | | Compostable | 325.00 | 210.50 | 210.50 – 325.00 | [1 / 3](#class-compostable) | | Aluminium | 285.00 | 70.67 | 5.14 – 380.00 | [3 / 13](#class-aluminium) | | Steel | 260.00 | 98.00 | 21.00 – 264.45 | [2 / 10](#class-steel) | | Paper and card | 139.00 | 89.83 | 17.00 – 258.10 | [4 / 16](#class-paper) | | Ceramic | 120.00 | 66.50 | 11.00 – 1,050.10 | [2 / 4](#class-ceramic) | | Glass | 108.00 | 46.65 | 18.50 – 440.00 | [3 / 15](#class-glass) | | Wood and organics | 20.00 | 21.75 | 1.95 – 258.10 | [8 / 14](#class-wood) | The class listed first, Composite and cartons, is where this schedule charges the most compared with its peers. A high rank is not a verdict on the schedule; it reflects what the publisher chose to charge. ## Every priced category against its own schedule The 2026 schedule for Austria prices 22 categories.

These are estimates built from the published rates; they leave out modulation, flat tiers and any other fee. **Estimated fee by weight, Austria 2026 (EUR)** | Category | 100 g (EUR) | 1 kg (EUR) | 10 kg (EUR) | 1 tonne (EUR) | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | Paper, household | €0.0208 | [€0.2080](#wt-1-01-0) | €2.08 | €208.00 | | Glass, household | €0.0108 | [€0.1080](#wt-1-02-0) | €1.08 | €108.00 | | Ferrous metal, household | €0.0450 | [€0.4500](#wt-1-03-1) | €4.50 | €450.00 | | Aluminium, household | €0.0480 | [€0.4800](#wt-1-03-2) | €4.80 | €480.00 | | Plastic, household | €0.1040 | [€1.04](#wt-1-04-1) | €10.40 | €1,040.00 | | Beverage cartons, household | €0.1020 | [€1.02](#wt-1-04-2) | €10.20 | €1,020.00 | | Other composite materials, household | €0.1140 | [€1.14](#wt-1-04-3) | €11.40 | €1,140.00 | | Ceramics, household | €0.0140 | [€0.1400](#wt-1-04-4) | €1.40 | €140.00 | | Wood, household | €0.0020 | [€0.0200](#wt-1-04-5) | €0.2000 | €20.00 | | Textile fibres, household | €0.0200 | [€0.2000](#wt-1-04-6) | €2.00 | €200.00 | | Biodegradable materials, household | €0.0550 | [€0.5500](#wt-1-04-7) | €5.50 | €550.00 | | Paper, commercial | €0.0070 | [€0.0700](#wt-2-01-0) | €0.7000 | €70.00 | | Ferrous metal, commercial | €0.0070 | [€0.0700](#wt-2-03-1) | €0.7000 | €70.00 | | Aluminium, commercial | €0.0090 | [€0.0900](#wt-2-03-2) | €0.9000 | €90.00 | | Foils, commercial | €0.0180 | [€0.1800](#wt-2-04-1) | €1.80 | €180.00 | | Moulded containers, commercial | €0.0100 | [€0.1000](#wt-2-04-2) | €1.00 | €100.00 | | EPS, commercial | €0.0350 | [€0.3500](#wt-2-05-0) | €3.50 | €350.00 | | Other composite materials, commercial | €0.0100 | [€0.1000](#wt-2-07-0) | €1.00 | €100.00 | | Ceramics, commercial | €0.0100 | [€0.1000](#wt-2-08-0) | €1.00 | €100.00 | | Wood, commercial | €0.0020 | [€0.0200](#wt-2-09-0) | €0.2000 | €20.00 | | Textile fibres, commercial | €0.0100 | [€0.1000](#wt-2-10-0) | €1.00 | €100.00 | | Biodegradable materials, commercial | €0.0100 | [€0.1000](#wt-2-11-0) | €1.00 | €100.00 | > **Note**: Your own figure depends on the weights you report and on any modulation the scheme applies; treat the table as a way to read the schedule, not as the amount you will be invoiced. ## Dates this schedule carries The dates on file for the 2026 schedule of Austria, with the date Instica last checked the rates against the source. **Dates and counts, Austria 2026** | Item | On file | | --- | --- | | Effective from | January 1, 2026 | | Effective until | No end date published | | Rates last checked | September 29, 2026 | | Categories with a verified rate | 22 | | Categories not yet published | 0 | ## What is not yet published > **Not yet published**: 1 item is not yet published for this schedule.

The unit is EUR 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 Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff publishes it, with its source and the date Instica read it. For comparison only, Instica also shows each rate as EUR per tonne. That column is arithmetic on the published figure with exact unit factors; the schedule itself is in EUR per kilogram, and the scheme's own invoice decides what is charged. Match 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. Other fees are listed with the amount and the basis the source gives. They are separate from the per-unit rates and may apply in addition to them. All 22 rows of this schedule carry a published rate. #### Estimating with this schedule 1. Weigh each packaging component on its own and note its material. 2. Find the category row that matches the component under the scheme's classification. 3. Convert your weight to the unit of the row, EUR per kilogram, or compare in the per-tonne column when you only need a ranking. 4. Multiply the weight by the rate. Instica keeps the rate, the weight and the source together so the estimate can be checked. 5. Add the flat fees or other fees the schedule lists, if they apply to you. 6. Review the total, then sign and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal. ## Checking an invoice against this schedule An invoice from Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff for 2026 should be explainable from three things: the weights you reported, the category each weight was placed in and the rate of that category. When an invoice does not match your estimate, check these in this order. First, the unit. A rate in EUR 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. Instica does not know your contract. Taxes, rebates, minimum charges or membership fees may sit outside the schedule on this page, in EUR or another currency. The schedule is a published reference; the scheme's invoice decides what you owe, and a query about an invoice belongs with the scheme. ## Terms used on this page - **Producer**: The business that places packaged goods on the market and is therefore responsible for the packaging, under the rules of the jurisdiction. - **Scheme or organisation**: The body that collects fees from producers and pays for collection and recycling. A jurisdiction may have one, several or none. - **Fee schedule**: A published table of rates per category of packaging, with the unit, the currency and the period it covers. - **Category**: The class of packaging a rate applies to, as the scheme defines it. Categories are usually based on material, sometimes on use. - **Estimate**: A figure Instica prepares from your weights and a rate. It is not an invoice and not a filing; the scheme decides what is charged. - **Not yet published**: A value the source has not released or that Instica has not been able to read and verify. It is shown with its reason and is never replaced by a guess. ## Questions and answers ### What is the Austria packaging fee schedule for 2026? It is the list of rates that Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA) tariff charges producers in Austria for packaging placed on the market in 2026. This page reproduces 22 categories with the rate the publisher states, in EUR per kilogram, and links every figure to its source document. ### Which unit are the 2026 rates in? They are published in EUR per kilogram, in EUR. Instica shows every rate in that unit with the precision of the source. The tables also give EUR per tonne, converted exactly, so schedules that quote pounds or kilograms can be compared. ### Which category is the most expensive in Austria? In the 2026 schedule the highest published rate is 1.140 for Other composite materials, household and the lowest is 0.020 for Wood, commercial, both in EUR per kilogram. The extremes table above lists the five highest and five lowest categories. ### Are there charges besides the per-weight rates? Yes. The schedule lists further charges with their basis, such as fees that depend on producer size rather than weight. They appear in their own table with the amount the publisher states. ### Can the rates change during the year? A published schedule changes only when the publisher issues a new version. Instica retrieved this one on September 29, 2026. If the publisher revises it, the page is rebuilt from the new source and the retrieval date moves. ### Who files the report and pays the fee? The 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. ### Can I use this page to budget my fee? Yes, 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. ### How current are these figures? Instica retrieved the schedule on September 29, 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. ## How Instica uses this schedule When you add packaging for Austria, Instica looks up the category in this 2026 schedule, multiplies the rate by the weight you measured and shows the estimated fee with the rate, the source and the data-quality tier of the weight. Instica measures, estimates and prepares. You review the figures, sign the report and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal. Instica does not submit for you and never stores portal credentials. > **Estimate**: Figures on this page are estimates that Instica prepares from published sources. You review them, sign them and submit them yourself. Instica does not file on your behalf, does not store regulator-portal credentials, and does not interpret the law for you. ## Facts on this page Each fact is a self-contained sentence with its source.
