"answer": "In Saskatchewan, 1,000 plastic bottles of the Medium (about 16 to 20 oz) size (24 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of CA$17.76 to CA$23.66 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates of SK Recycles that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.",

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."
