# British Columbia EPR 2027 Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia British Columbia requires producers who place packaging on the market to meet packaging EPR duties under Recycling Regulation, B.C. Reg. 449/2004 (packaging and paper product category). We record 3 thresholds and 2 dated deadlines. 11 of 15 core rule fields are verified against primary sources. ## Packaging EPR in British Columbia: what we have verified This page collects what we have verified about packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) in British Columbia. 11 of 15 core rule fields are published from primary sources and 4 are not yet published. The dataset was last reviewed on November 4, 2026, and the newest source on this page was retrieved on November 4, 2026. - **Regime**: [Recycling Regulation, B.C.

Each of these stays blank until a primary source is verified; we do not fill gaps from memory or from other jurisdictions. ## 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. **Who is the producer in British Columbia, by 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. > if subparagraph (i) does not apply, a person who is not the manufacturer of the product but is the owner or licensee of a trademark > > Source: Producer hierarchy (https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/449_2004), Retrieved: November 4, 2026, Language: en 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. **Thresholds recorded for British Columbia** | Measure | Amount | Effect | Note | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [revenue](#threshold-small_producer_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](#threshold-small_producer_tonnage) | 1 tonne | the producer is exempt below it | Or under one tonne of packaging and paper | | [packaging weight](#threshold-low_volume_flat_fee_band) | 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.

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.

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](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia/deadlines). 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](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia/fees/2025): rates by material for fee year 2025. - [British Columbia 2026 fees](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia/fees/2026): rates by material for fee year 2026. - [British Columbia 2027 fees](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia/fees/2027): 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. > **Not yet published**: Recycling and recovery targets for British Columbia: Not yet published. Reason: Targets were not read from the regulation. 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 neighbouring and similar places** | Place | Producers obliged | Regulator | Registration | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Washington](https://instica.com/epr/washington) | [Yes](#cmp-US-WA-obligated) | [Washington State Department of Ecology](#cmp-US-WA-regulator) | Required | | [Yukon](https://instica.com/epr/yukon) | [Yes](#cmp-CA-YT-obligated) | [Government of Yukon, Ministry of the Environment](#cmp-CA-YT-regulator) | Not yet published | | [Alberta](https://instica.com/epr/alberta) | [Yes](#cmp-CA-AB-obligated) | [Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA)](#cmp-CA-AB-regulator) | Not yet published | | Northwest Territories | Not yet published | Not yet published | Not yet published | | Ontario | [Yes](#cmp-CA-ON-obligated) | [Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA)](#cmp-CA-ON-regulator) | Required | | [New Brunswick](https://instica.com/epr/new-brunswick) | [Yes](#cmp-CA-NB-obligated) | [Recycle New Brunswick (stewardship board)](#cmp-CA-NB-regulator) | Required | | [Québec](https://instica.com/epr/quebec) | [Yes](#cmp-CA-QC-obligated) | Not yet published | Required | | [Nova Scotia](https://instica.com/epr/nova-scotia) | [Yes](#cmp-CA-NS-obligated) | [Resource Recovery Fund Board (Divert NS), as Administrator](#cmp-CA-NS-regulator) | Not yet published | ## Records behind the comparison The regime in Washington is recorded as Washington Recycling Reform Act, chapter 70A.208 RCW. Washington runs its system through a single producer responsibility organisation: Circular Action Alliance. Washington sets a tonnage threshold of below 1 short ton. Washington has a deadline of another kind on March 1, 2026. The regime in Yukon is recorded as Extended Producer Responsibility Regulation, OIC 2024/19 (effective 2024-01-25; launched 2025-11-01).

The regime in Alberta is recorded as Extended Producer Responsibility Regulation, Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (packaging, paper products). Alberta sets a revenue threshold of CA$1,500,000.00. Alberta has a deadline of another kind on October 1, 2026. The regime in Ontario is recorded as Full producer responsibility for Blue Box material (packaging, paper products, packaging-like products) under the Blue Box Regulation. Ontario runs its system through more than one producer responsibility organisation. Ontario sets a revenue threshold of below CA$2,000,000.00. Ontario has a reporting deadline on May 31, 2026.

Québec runs its system through a single producer responsibility organisation: Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ). Québec sets a tonnage threshold of 1 tonne. Québec has a reporting deadline on May 31, 2026. The regime in Nova Scotia is recorded as Environmental Goals and Climate Change Reduction Act, Part IX (packaging and paper EPR regulations). Nova Scotia runs its system through a single producer responsibility organisation: Circular Materials. Nova Scotia sets a revenue threshold of CA$1,000,000.00. Nova Scotia has a reporting deadline on April 30, 2030. ## 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](#cmp-US-WA-obligated) 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](#cmp-US-WA-threshold) in Washington, so the figures cannot be compared directly. British Columbia and [Yukon](#cmp-CA-YT-obligated) 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](#cmp-CA-AB-obligated) 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](#cmp-CA-AB-threshold) in Alberta, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. British Columbia and [Ontario](#cmp-CA-ON-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. British Columbia runs a single producer responsibility organisation, while Ontario runs [more than one producer responsibility organisation](#cmp-CA-ON-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](#cmp-CA-ON-threshold) in Ontario, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. British Columbia and [New Brunswick](#cmp-CA-NB-obligated) 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](#cmp-CA-NB-threshold) in New Brunswick, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. British Columbia and [Québec](#cmp-CA-QC-obligated) 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](#cmp-CA-QC-threshold) in Québec, so the figures cannot be compared directly. British Columbia and [Nova Scotia](#cmp-CA-NS-obligated) 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. ## Where British Columbia sits among the places we cover Counted by verified core records, British Columbia holds 11 of 17 and ranks 9 of 53 places in the dataset.

Among places whose first threshold is also counted in revenue, British Columbia sits 2 of 7 from the lowest. The table sets it beside the places just below and just above. **First thresholds near British Columbia, lowest first** | Place | First threshold | Against this page | | --- | --- | --- | | [Manitoba](https://instica.com/epr/manitoba) | CA$750,000.00 | Lower | | [British Columbia](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia) | CA$1,000,000.00 | This page | | [Nova Scotia](https://instica.com/epr/nova-scotia) | CA$1,000,000.00 | Equal | | [Yukon](https://instica.com/epr/yukon) | CA$1,000,000.00 | Equal | | [Alberta](https://instica.com/epr/alberta) | CA$1,500,000.00 | Higher | | [New Brunswick](https://instica.com/epr/new-brunswick) | CA$2,000,000.00 | Higher | | Ontario | CA$2,000,000.00 | Higher | ## What to prepare for British Columbia 1. Work out whether you are the producer for each product you sell in British Columbia, using the producer roles above. 2. Compare your British Columbia revenue and packaging weight with each threshold in the table; keep the working. 3. Register with Recycle BC membership, registered through the WeRecycle Portal before you report or pay. 4. Put every dated deadline above in your calendar, with the period it covers. 5. Collect packaging weights by material so the report file can be prepared to the format above. 6. 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 is still open for British Columbia British Columbia has 4 of 15 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below. - **The regulator**: Reason recorded: Regulator wording was not quoted from a primary page. - **Labelling**: Reason recorded: On-pack labelling rules were not read for this jurisdiction. - **Targets**: Reason recorded: Targets were not read from the regulation. - **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: Portal language rules were not read. ## 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. ## Questions about packaging EPR in British Columbia ### Do I need to take part in packaging EPR in British Columbia?
