The packaging EPR regime in British Columbia is recorded as Recycling Regulation, B.C. Reg. 449/2004 (packaging and paper product category).
The regulator in British Columbia: not yet published. Reason: Regulator wording was not quoted from a primary page.
Producers placing packaging on the market in British Columbia carry a packaging EPR obligation.
Original wording

Who is the producer in British Columbia
In British Columbia, packaging EPR obliges producers to organise or fund the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.
The producer hierarchy decides who answers for a pack when several businesses touch it. For British Columbia, the dataset names the following roles for each packaging level.
| Packaging level | Producer roles recorded |
|---|---|
| other packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
| primary (sales) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
| secondary packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
| service packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
| shipping packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
| tertiary (transport) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, importer |
In British Columbia, the party that carries the obligation by default is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, and importer.
Original wording
if subparagraph (i) does not apply, a person who is not the manufacturer of the product but is the owner or licensee of a trademarkSource: Producer hierarchy
In British Columbia, the obligation can be transferred to another party under the stated rules.
Transfer detail: Franchisor and franchisees treated as one producer for small-producer tests; producers are jointly and separately responsible
In British Columbia, revenue and tonnage of affiliated companies are counted together.
Where a revenue test applies in British Columbia, it is measured on revenue earned in the jurisdiction over most recent calendar year, in CAD.
Roles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into British Columbia through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting.
Thresholds that apply in British Columbia
Thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, whether it pays fees, or whether it can file a simplified report. British Columbia publishes 3 verified thresholds.
| Measure | Amount | Effect | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| revenue | CA$1,000,000.00 | the producer is exempt below it | Small producer if gross revenue in BC is under CAD 1,000,000 |
| tonnage | 1 tonne | the producer is exempt below it | Or under one tonne of packaging and paper |
| packaging weight | 15,000 kg | a flat-fee band applies | Stewards supplying 1,000 to 15,000 kg a year may file a simplified report and pay a flat fee |
British Columbia sets a revenue threshold of CA$1,000,000.00; effect: the producer is exempt below it.

Registration and the system in British Columbia
Registration is where an obligation becomes visible to the regulator. The records below show whether British Columbia asks producers to register, with whom, and which organisation or scheme carries the collection and recycling system.
Producers in British Columbia must register with Recycle BC membership, registered through the WeRecycle Portal.
Who registers: The obligated producer or its agent
Registry (opens the official registry page).
Original wording
To become a member of the Recycle BC program please visit the WeRecycle Portal and follow the steps to register as a new producer.Source: Registration
In British Columbia, the system runs through a single producer responsibility organisation: Recycle BC; membership is required.
Original wording
Recycle BC is the only organization that businesses can join in order to fulfill the requirements of Schedule 5 of the BC Recycling RegulationSource: Organisation
The packaging taxonomy in British Columbia has 23 categories. Granularity: material category.
Deadlines in British Columbia
British Columbia records 3 deadlines, 2 of them verified. This page gives the summary; every date, the period it covers and what it requires are on the deadlines page for British Columbia.
Every verified date we hold for British Columbia falls on or before November 9, 2026, so none is still ahead. Check the regulator for the next one.
2 obligations recur on a fixed day each year rather than on a single date.
See every deadline for British Columbia, with its period and what it requires, on the British Columbia deadlines page.
A deadline is a date the regulator published, not a date we set. We can estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file; you sign and submit it in the regulator's own portal.
Fees and reporting in British Columbia
British Columbia publishes 3 fee schedules, for fee years 2025, 2026, and 2027. The schedule sets what each kind of packaging costs; the rates themselves are on the fee pages, not here.
- British Columbia 2025 fees: rates by material for fee year 2025.
- British Columbia 2026 fees: rates by material for fee year 2026.
- British Columbia 2027 fees: rates by material for fee year 2027.
The report you file is a defined file or form. British Columbia records 1 format; we prepare the file to that specification and you upload it yourself.
Recycle BC annual supply report is a csv file submitted through Recycle BC steward portal. The customer reviews, signs and submits it.
Columns, material mapping and the checks a file must pass are on the British Columbia report format page.
Labelling, languages, targets and penalties in British Columbia
Labelling in British Columbia: not yet published. Reason: On-pack labelling rules were not read for this jurisdiction.
Languages in British Columbia: not yet published. Reason: Portal language rules were not read.
British Columbia sets a penalty for Offence under the Recycling Regulation: up to CA$200,000 per offence.
Labelling, language, target and penalty rules are the parts of a regime that are easiest to miss. A report filed in the wrong language or a pack without a required mark can cost as much as a late payment, so read each of these against your own products.
British Columbia compared with nearby places
Rules do not stop at a border. A business that sells into British Columbia usually sells into its neighbours too, and the thresholds and deadlines differ. The table reads British Columbia against the places closest to it that have verified data.

British Columbia read against each neighbour
Each paragraph reads British Columbia against one place from the table above, using only records verified for both. A part is left out when either side is not yet published.
British Columbia and Washington both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue in British Columbia and 1 short ton of tonnage in Washington, so the figures cannot be compared directly.
British Columbia and Yukon both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. The first threshold is the same in both, CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue.
British Columbia and Alberta both record an obligation for packaging producers. The first threshold is CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue in British Columbia against CA$1,500,000.00 of revenue in Alberta, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door.
British Columbia and Ontario both record an obligation for packaging producers. British Columbia runs a single producer responsibility organisation, while Ontario runs more than one producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first threshold is CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue in British Columbia against CA$2,000,000.00 of revenue in Ontario, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door.
British Columbia and New Brunswick both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first threshold is CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue in British Columbia against CA$2,000,000.00 of revenue in New Brunswick, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door.
British Columbia and Québec both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue in British Columbia and 1 tonne of tonnage in Québec, so the figures cannot be compared directly.
British Columbia and Nova Scotia both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. The first threshold is the same in both, CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue.

What to prepare for British Columbia
- Work out whether you are the producer for each product you sell in British Columbia, using the producer roles above.
- Compare your British Columbia revenue and packaging weight with each threshold in the table; keep the working.
- Register with Recycle BC membership, registered through the WeRecycle Portal before you report or pay.
- Put every dated deadline above in your calendar, with the period it covers.
- Collect packaging weights by material so the report file can be prepared to the format above.
- Sign and submit your filings yourself in the regulator's portal; Instica never stores portal credentials and never files for you.
Instica measures packaging, estimates what you may owe and prepares the report file. It does not decide whether you are obliged; that stays with you and the regulator.
How to read this page
Every statement on this page is generated from a verified record, and each record keeps its source address, the date we retrieved it, and, where the source is a statute or notice, the quoted text. A value marked "not yet published" has no verified source yet; we show the reason instead of a number.
Quotes are shown in the language of the source with a labelled summary in English. The summary helps you read; the quote is what the source says. If the two ever differ, the quote governs.
British Columbia has 11 of 15 core fields verified. The remaining 4 are listed in the overview. When one of them is published, the page changes and the "last verified" date moves; until then, the safest assumption is that the answer is unknown, not that it is no.
What an open field means in practice
A field is marked not yet published when no primary source we can cite says what it needs to say. Below, each open field for British Columbia is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.
- The regulator
- Without a named regulator we cannot point you to a portal or a contact; the national or state environment authority is the usual starting point.
- Labelling
- Labelling rules decide whether a pack needs a mark or a sorting instruction; check pack artwork before printing a large run.
- Targets
- Targets show how fast the rules are expected to tighten, which helps you plan for higher fees later.
- Filing languages
- The filing language decides whether you need a translation of your report; confirm before you prepare the file.
We re-check open fields when a source changes and when a reviewer flags one. If you hold a primary source that answers an open field for British Columbia, the data-gaps page explains how to send it; we publish a field only after we can cite the source and its date.
What this means for different sellers in British Columbia
Because British Columbia records a packaging EPR obligation, each of the following sellers should expect to do some work. What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.
A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods
You are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into British Columbia by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.
An importer or reseller of branded goods
Importers are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.
A seller that ships through an online marketplace
Some regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for British Columbia; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.
A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year
Compare your figures with the 3 verified thresholds above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief.
Common mistakes with British Columbia packaging EPR
Most problems with packaging EPR do not come from the rule itself; they come from a few repeated slips. These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for British Columbia.
- Treating "not yet published" as "no". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.
- Using another place's threshold. British Columbia sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.
- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.
- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.
- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.
- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.
The records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser.
