# Cans EPR fees Manitoba: what an aluminium can costs per 1,000 packs, 2027

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/can/manitoba

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

In Manitoba, 1,000 aluminium cans of the Standard (12 oz) size (14 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of -CA$1.00 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates of Recycle Manitoba that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

## What this page estimates for an aluminium can in Manitoba

The aluminium can on this page is a drinks can made of aluminium. It has one component, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Recycle Manitoba for Manitoba; 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 an aluminium can

The can is one aluminium component. The ring pull and the printed coating are part of that single weighed unit.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: can (aluminium, 14 g).

- **Can**: aluminium, 14 g (Instica starting estimate)

<a id="worked-example"></a>

## Worked example: 1,000 aluminium cans in Manitoba

One aluminium can of the Standard (12 oz) size weighs 14 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 aluminium cans in Manitoba, in CAD**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Can | 14 g | Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans | -CA$1.00 | -CA$0.0010 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Manitoba: 1,000 aluminium cans of the Standard (12 oz) size are estimated at -CA$1.00 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is -CA$1.00.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about -CA$0.0010.

> **Note**: The schedule publishes a negative rate for Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans. A negative published rate is shown as published, and it lowers the total. Read the source before relying on a credit.

## What the fee tool returns for 1,000 aluminium cans in Manitoba

Entered into the public fee tool for Manitoba (2027 schedule, effective January 1, 2027), 1,000 aluminium cans 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, Manitoba, in CAD**

| Component | Category at the lowest rate | Weight | Fee | Category at the highest rate | Fee |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Can | Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans | 14 g | -CA$1.00 | Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans | -CA$1.00 |

<a id="calc-tool"></a>Manitoba: the fee tool returns -CA$1.00 for 1,000 aluminium cans of the Standard (12 oz) size (14 g each).

The tool total is -CA$1.00.

<a id="tool-sizes"></a>**Fee tool totals for 1,000 packs by size, Manitoba, in CAD**

<a id="rates"></a>

## Which published rates were matched in Manitoba

One published rate was matched to the pack in Manitoba from the 2027 schedule. Each is quoted from the programme’s own fee table; the page does not change the rate or round it.

#### Can, 14 g: one matched rate

<a id="matched-rates-1"></a>**Rates matched to the can, Manitoba 2027**

| Category | Published rate | Per kilogram | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans | -7.12 cents per kilogram | -CA$0.0712 | -CA$1.00 | -CA$0.001 |

<a id="rate-mb-aluminum-food-beverage-cans"></a>Manitoba 2027: the category “Aluminum Food & Beverage Cans” is published at -7.12 cents per kilogram.

<a id="sizes"></a>

## How size changes the fee for an aluminium can

The weight of an aluminium can depends on its size. The table prices each of the 2 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 aluminium cans by size in Manitoba, 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 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Standard (12 oz) | 14 g | -CA$1.00 | -CA$1.00 | -CA$0.001 | -CA$0.001 |
| Tall (16 oz) | 17 g | -CA$1.21 | -CA$1.21 | -CA$0.0012 | -CA$0.0012 |

Each component of the aluminium can priced at every size, at the matched rates for Manitoba.

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

| Component | Standard (12 oz) | Tall (16 oz) |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Can | 14 g: -CA$1.00 | 17 g: -CA$1.21 |

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

## What if the aluminium can used another material?

Suppose the main component of the aluminium can, weighing 14 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that Manitoba publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Manitoba, 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 | 18.23 cents per kilogram | CA$2.55 | 18.23 cents per kilogram | CA$2.55 |
| plastic | 79.03 cents per kilogram | CA$11.06 | 79.03 cents per kilogram | CA$11.06 |
| glass | 22.41 cents per kilogram | CA$3.14 | 22.96 cents per kilogram | CA$3.21 |
| aluminium | -7.12 cents per kilogram | -CA$1.00 | -7.12 cents per kilogram | -CA$1.00 |
| steel | 30.96 cents per kilogram | CA$4.33 | 30.96 cents per kilogram | CA$4.33 |

<a id="options-all"></a>**Every matched rate of the other materials at 14 g, Manitoba, in CAD**

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | Boxboard | 18.23 cents per kilogram | CA$2.55 | CA$0.0026 |
| plastic | Plastic Film | 79.03 cents per kilogram | CA$11.06 | CA$0.0111 |
| glass | Coloured Glass | 22.41 cents per kilogram | CA$3.14 | CA$0.0031 |
| glass | Clear Glass | 22.96 cents per kilogram | CA$3.21 | CA$0.0032 |
| steel | Steel Food & Beverage Cans | 30.96 cents per kilogram | CA$4.33 | CA$0.0043 |

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

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

## What a larger run of aluminium cans costs in Manitoba

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Standard (12 oz) aluminium can in Manitoba. 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 aluminium can in Manitoba, in CAD**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 1.4 kg | -CA$0.10 | -CA$0.10 |
| 500 | 7 kg | -CA$0.50 | -CA$0.50 |
| 1,000 | 14 kg | -CA$1.00 | -CA$1.00 |
| 5,000 | 70 kg | -CA$4.98 | -CA$4.98 |
| 10,000 | 140 kg | -CA$9.97 | -CA$9.97 |
| 50,000 | 700 kg | -CA$49.84 | -CA$49.84 |
| 100,000 | 1,400 kg | -CA$99.68 | -CA$99.68 |
| 500,000 | 7,000 kg | -CA$498.40 | -CA$498.40 |
| 1,000,000 | 14,000 kg | -CA$996.80 | -CA$996.80 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Manitoba: a single aluminium can is estimated at -CA$0.0010 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Manitoba: across all its components, an aluminium can is priced at -CA$0.0712 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at -CA$0.0712 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 aluminium cans has moved on Manitoba schedules

Manitoba has published 3 per-mass fee schedules that price this pack. The same Standard (12 oz) aluminium cans 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 Manitoba

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Recycle Manitoba for Manitoba, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Manitoba: the 2027 fee schedule of Recycle Manitoba, effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used on this page.

<a id="tier-mb-flat-1"></a>Manitoba: the flat fee band “mb flat 1” (1000 to 2499 kg) is CA$1,100.00.

<a id="tier-mb-flat-2"></a>Manitoba: the flat fee band “mb flat 2” (2500 to 5000 kg) is CA$2,300.00.

The schedule also lists 2 flat fee bands for small producers. They can replace the per-kilogram fee and are not part of the estimate on this page.

## Ways to lower the fee on an aluminium can

Can weight has been reduced steadily by manufacturers, so the weight of your own supplier’s can is a better input than any average.

Aluminium is often priced per kilogram below plastics, because it is recycled at a high rate, but rates differ widely between programmes.

A deposit-return scheme for cans can remove them from the producer fee schedule, so check whether one applies to your drink.

Drinks sellers who fill cans at a contract packer should ask the packer which party reports the can, because that decides who is the producer for it.

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>How much is the EPR fee for an aluminium can in Manitoba?

For 1,000 aluminium cans of the Standard (12 oz) size, the estimated fee is -CA$1.00 on the 2027 schedule, from the published rates that fit each component. One matched rate is negative, which lowers the low end.

### <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.
