# Bottles packaging EPR New Brunswick: what a plastic bottle costs per 1,000 packs, 2027

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/bottle/new-brunswick

<a id="answer"></a>

In New Brunswick, 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size (24 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of CA$29.98 to CA$32.28 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

<a id="what"></a>

## What this page estimates for a plastic bottle in New Brunswick

The plastic bottle on this page is a clear PET bottle closed with a plastic screw cap. It has 2 components, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Circular Materials New Brunswick (Recycle NB) for New Brunswick; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in CAD. The figures are estimates built on starting weights.

<a id="anatomy"></a>

## What is in a plastic bottle

The bottle has two components: the PET body and the plastic cap. A label or shrink sleeve is not weighed in the starting estimate.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: bottle (PET plastic, 22 g) and cap (plastic, 2 g).

- **Bottle**: PET plastic, 22 g (Instica starting estimate)
- **Cap**: plastic, 2 g (Instica starting estimate)

## Worked example: 1,000 plastic bottles in New Brunswick

One plastic bottle of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size weighs 24 g in total. For each component the table gives its weight, the matched published rates, and the fee for 1,000 packs.

<a id="worked-example-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 plastic bottles in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Bottle | 22 g | PET Containers, Jars and Jugs < 5 Litres to PET Containers, Jars and Jugs >= 5 Litres | CA$28.38 | CA$0.0284 |
| Cap | 2 g | HDPE Containers, Jars and Jugs < 5 Litres to PLA, PHA, PHB Carry-Out Bags | CA$1.60 to CA$3.90 | CA$0.0016 to CA$0.0039 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>New Brunswick: 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size are estimated at CA$29.98 to CA$32.28 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is CA$29.98 to CA$32.28.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about CA$0.0300 to CA$0.0323.

## How size changes the fee for a plastic bottle

The weight of a plastic bottle depends on its size. The table prices each of the 3 sizes with the same matched rates, so the only thing that changes between rows is the weight.

<a id="sizes-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 plastic bottles by size in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Size | Weight each | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack, lowest | Per pack, highest |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Small (about 12 oz) | 17 g | CA$20.95 | CA$23.25 | CA$0.021 | CA$0.0233 |
| Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) | 24 g | CA$29.98 | CA$32.28 | CA$0.03 | CA$0.0323 |
| Large (about 1 L) | 38 g | CA$47.55 | CA$51.00 | CA$0.0475 | CA$0.051 |

Each component of the plastic bottle priced at every size, at the matched rates for New Brunswick.

<a id="matrix"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by component and size, New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Component | Small (about 12 oz) | Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) | Large (about 1 L) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Bottle | 15 g: CA$19.35 | 22 g: CA$28.38 | 35 g: CA$45.15 |
| Cap | 2 g: CA$1.60 to CA$3.90 | 2 g: CA$1.60 to CA$3.90 | 3 g: CA$2.40 to CA$5.85 |

<a id="options"></a>

## What if the plastic bottle used another material?

Suppose the main component of the plastic bottle, weighing 22 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that New Brunswick publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, New Brunswick, in CAD per 1,000 packs**

| Material | Lowest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate | Highest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 68 cents per kilogram | CA$14.96 | 68 cents per kilogram | CA$14.96 |
| plastic | 129 cents per kilogram | CA$28.38 | 129 cents per kilogram | CA$28.38 |
| glass | 47 cents per kilogram | CA$10.34 | 47 cents per kilogram | CA$10.34 |
| aluminium | 100 cents per kilogram | CA$22.00 | 100 cents per kilogram | CA$22.00 |
| steel | 83 cents per kilogram | CA$18.26 | 83 cents per kilogram | CA$18.26 |

<a id="options-all"></a>**Every matched rate of the other materials at 22 g, New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | Boxboard and Other Paper Packaging | 68 cents per kilogram | CA$14.96 | CA$0.015 |
| paper and board | Kraft Paper Carry-Out Bags | 68 cents per kilogram | CA$14.96 | CA$0.015 |

| steel | Other Steel Containers and Packaging | 83 cents per kilogram | CA$18.26 | CA$0.0183 |

A fee comparison only: another material changes weight and protection too.

## What a larger run of plastic bottles costs in New Brunswick

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) plastic bottle in New Brunswick. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.

<a id="volume-table"></a>**Fee by run size for the plastic bottle in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 2.4 kg | CA$3.00 | CA$3.23 |
| 500 | 12 kg | CA$14.99 | CA$16.14 |
| 1,000 | 24 kg | CA$29.98 | CA$32.28 |
| 5,000 | 120 kg | CA$149.90 | CA$161.40 |
| 10,000 | 240 kg | CA$299.80 | CA$322.80 |
| 50,000 | 1,200 kg | CA$1,499.00 | CA$1,614.00 |
| 100,000 | 2,400 kg | CA$2,998.00 | CA$3,228.00 |
| 500,000 | 12,000 kg | CA$14,990.00 | CA$16,140.00 |
| 1,000,000 | 24,000 kg | CA$29,980.00 | CA$32,280.00 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>New Brunswick: a single plastic bottle is estimated at CA$0.0300 to CA$0.0323 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>New Brunswick: across all its components, a plastic bottle is priced at CA$1.2492 to CA$1.345 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at CA$1.2492 to CA$1.345 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.

Flat fee bands, registration fees and minimum charges sit outside this per-kilogram table.

## How the fee for plastic bottles has moved on New Brunswick schedules

New Brunswick has published 3 per-mass fee schedules that price this pack. The same Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) plastic bottles are priced on each below, with the same weights and the same matching rules, so only the published rates differ.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for New Brunswick

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Circular Materials New Brunswick (Recycle NB) for New Brunswick, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="levers"></a>

## Ways to lower the fee on a plastic bottle

Bottle weight falls when the wall is thinner, and many programmes publish a lower rate for clear PET than for coloured or opaque PET.

The cap is often a different plastic from the body, and some schedules price caps and lids on a separate line.

A deposit or take-back scheme can take a bottle out of the producer fee schedule altogether, so check whether one covers your drink or product.

Bottles of the same capacity can differ in weight by several grams between suppliers, so weigh your own bottle and cap before relying on a starting estimate.

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>How much is the EPR fee for a plastic bottle in New Brunswick?

For 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size, the estimated fee is CA$29.98 to CA$32.28 on the 2027 schedule, from the published rates that fit each component.

### <a id="q2"></a>Is this the amount I will pay?

No. It is an estimate for the packaging alone. Registration fees, flat fee bands, eco-modulation and thresholds sit outside the per-kilogram figure. Instica prepares the data; you check, sign and submit it, and Instica never stores regulator login details.

<a id="estimate"></a>
