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

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/bottle/quebec

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

In Québec, 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size (24 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of CA$28.55 to CA$30.41 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 Québec

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 Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ) for Québec; 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 Québec

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 Québec, in CAD**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Bottle | 22 g | PET | CA$26.56 | CA$0.0266 |
| Cap | 2 g | HDPE < 5 L to Plastic laminants | CA$1.99 to CA$3.85 | CA$0.0020 to CA$0.0038 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Québec: 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size are estimated at CA$28.55 to CA$30.41 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is CA$28.55 to CA$30.41.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about CA$0.0286 to CA$0.0304.

## What the fee tool returns for 1,000 plastic bottles in Québec

Entered into the public fee tool for Québec (2027 schedule, effective January 1, 2027), 1,000 plastic bottles give the figures below. The tool is the same engine that prices a report, so this page and the tool agree.

<a id="tool-lines"></a>**Fee tool lines for 1,000 packs, Québec, in CAD**

## 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 Québec, 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$20.10 | CA$21.96 | CA$0.0201 | CA$0.022 |
| Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) | 24 g | CA$28.55 | CA$30.41 | CA$0.0286 | CA$0.0304 |
| Large (about 1 L) | 38 g | CA$45.24 | CA$48.03 | CA$0.0452 | CA$0.048 |

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

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

| Component | Small (about 12 oz) | Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) | Large (about 1 L) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Bottle | 15 g: CA$18.11 | 22 g: CA$26.56 | 35 g: CA$42.26 |
| Cap | 2 g: CA$1.99 to CA$3.85 | 2 g: CA$1.99 to CA$3.85 | 3 g: CA$2.99 to CA$5.77 |

<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 Québec publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Québec, 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 | 806.84 CAD/tonne | CA$17.75 | 806.84 CAD/tonne | CA$17.75 |
| plastic | 1,207.31 CAD/tonne | CA$26.56 | 1,207.31 CAD/tonne | CA$26.56 |
| glass | 654.24 CAD/tonne | CA$14.39 | 655.92 CAD/tonne | CA$14.43 |
| aluminium | 476.19 CAD/tonne | CA$10.48 | 476.19 CAD/tonne | CA$10.48 |
| steel | 703.17 CAD/tonne | CA$15.47 | 703.17 CAD/tonne | CA$15.47 |

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

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | Boxboard, other paper packaging and alternative fibres | 806.84 CAD/tonne | CA$17.75 | CA$0.0178 |
| glass | Clear glass | 654.24 CAD/tonne | CA$14.39 | CA$0.0144 |
| glass | Coloured glass | 655.92 CAD/tonne | CA$14.43 | CA$0.0144 |
| aluminium | Aluminum | 476.19 CAD/tonne | CA$10.48 | CA$0.0105 |
| steel | Steel | 703.17 CAD/tonne | CA$15.47 | CA$0.0155 |

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

<a id="volume"></a>

## What a larger run of plastic bottles costs in Québec

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 Québec. 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 Québec, in CAD**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 2.4 kg | CA$2.86 | CA$3.04 |
| 500 | 12 kg | CA$14.28 | CA$15.20 |
| 1,000 | 24 kg | CA$28.55 | CA$30.41 |
| 5,000 | 120 kg | CA$142.75 | CA$152.04 |
| 10,000 | 240 kg | CA$285.51 | CA$304.09 |
| 50,000 | 1,200 kg | CA$1,427.55 | CA$1,520.44 |
| 100,000 | 2,400 kg | CA$2,855.10 | CA$3,040.89 |
| 500,000 | 12,000 kg | CA$14,275.48 | CA$15,204.43 |
| 1,000,000 | 24,000 kg | CA$28,550.96 | CA$30,408.86 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Québec: a single plastic bottle is estimated at CA$0.0286 to CA$0.0304 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Québec: across all its components, a plastic bottle is priced at CA$1.1896 to CA$1.267 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at CA$1.1896 to CA$1.267 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.

<a id="history"></a>

## How the fee for plastic bottles has moved on Québec schedules

Québec has published 2 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.

<a id="history-table"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by schedule, Québec, in CAD**

| Schedule | Effective from | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack | Change in the lowest fee |

| 2027 | January 1, 2027 | CA$28.55 | CA$30.41 | CA$0.0286 to CA$0.0304 | +18.9% |

<a id="hist-ca-qc-2026"></a>Québec: on the 2026 schedule, effective January 1, 2026, 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size were priced at CA$24.01 to CA$25.73.

<a id="hist-ca-qc-2027"></a>Québec: on the 2027 schedule, effective January 1, 2027, 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size were priced at CA$28.55 to CA$30.41.

The same matched categories on each Québec schedule, per kilogram; a dash means the schedule does not publish that category.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for Québec

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ) for Québec, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Québec: the 2027 fee schedule of Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ), effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used on this page.

<a id="tier-qc-flat-1"></a>Québec: the flat fee band “qc flat 1” (1 to 2.5 tonne) is CA$1,580.00.

<a id="tier-qc-flat-2"></a>Québec: the flat fee band “qc flat 2” (2.5 to 5 tonne) is CA$3,380.00.

<a id="tier-qc-flat-3"></a>Québec: the flat fee band “qc flat 3” (5 to 10 tonne) is CA$6,760.00.

<a id="tier-qc-flat-4"></a>Québec: the flat fee band “qc flat 4” (10 to 15 tonne) is CA$11,270.00.

The schedule also lists 4 flat fee bands for small producers. They can replace the per-kilogram fee and are not part of the estimate on this page.

<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 Québec?

For 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size, the estimated fee is CA$28.55 to CA$30.41 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.
