# Minnesota vs Ontario EPR: Rules Compared Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/compare/minnesota-vs-ontario Minnesota and Ontario both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Ontario exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$2,000,000 against $2,000,000 in Minnesota. Minnesota has the lower weight floor, 907.2 kg against 1 tonne in Ontario. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. ## Minnesota and Ontario side by side 4 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of Minnesota and Ontario; a cell reads “not yet published” when a side has none, and an exemption row reads “none recorded; see thresholds” when no exemption is on record. **Minnesota and Ontario: the measures both programmes publish** | Measure | Minnesota | Ontario | Stricter | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Registration duty | Required | Required | Same | | Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | more than one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable | | Lowest revenue exemption | $2,000,000 | CA$2,000,000 | Ontario | | Lowest weight exemption | 907.2 kg | 1 tonne | Minnesota | | First annual report date | May 31 | May 31 | Same | | Published penalties | 1 published | not yet published | Not comparable | | Report file | csv | csv | Not comparable | | Paper fee, cheapest matched rate | not yet published | not yet published | Not comparable | | Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | not yet published | not yet published | Not comparable | The lowest revenue exemption is $2,000,000 in Minnesota and CA$2,000,000 in Ontario ($1,430,820 at the Bank of Canada 2025 annual average rate). Ontario therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Minnesota but still in scope in Ontario. The lowest weight exemption is 907.2 kg of packaging in Minnesota and 1 tonne in Ontario, about 1.1 times as much in Ontario as in Minnesota. A seller whose packaging falls between the two lines is exempt in Ontario but counted in Minnesota. Both programmes require a producer to register, in Minnesota and in Ontario. The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31. ## Who runs the programme in Minnesota and Ontario Who collects and who the producer files with, in Minnesota and then Ontario. **Minnesota and Ontario: how each programme is set up** | Aspect | Minnesota | Ontario | | --- | --- | --- | | Regime | Minnesota packaging EPR law, Minnesota Statutes sections 115A.144 to 115A.1463 | Full producer responsibility for Blue Box material (packaging, paper products, packaging-like products) under the Blue Box Regulation | | Regulator | Minnesota Pollution Control Agency | Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) | | Producers obligated | Yes | Yes | | Registration | Required, Producer joins a PRO; the PRO registers with the MPCA | Required, RPRA Registry | | Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Action Alliance; membership required | more than one producer responsibility organisation; membership optional | | Transfer of responsibility | not yet published | Allowed | | Revenue counted as | not yet published | regional revenue, CAD, calendar year | | Who counts as the producer | primary: manufacturer, brand licensee, brand owner, importer | other: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; primary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; secondary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; service: seller; shipping: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; tertiary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace | > **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Minnesota: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: No transfer or delegation rule was found in the definition read. > **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Minnesota: how revenue is counted. Reason: Revenue scope for the producer threshold was not read beyond the de minimis definition. The two programmes are organised differently. Minnesota uses one producer responsibility organisation; Ontario uses more than one producer responsibility organisation. For a seller in both, that usually means two different counterparties, two different sign-up routes and two different sets of terms to read before the first report is due. ## What Minnesota and Ontario cover, side by side Each row below is one published feature of the two programmes; a cell reads “not yet published” when Minnesota or Ontario has no verified entry for it in the dataset. **Scope, producer duties, categories, labelling and targets, Minnesota and Ontario** | Aspect | Minnesota | Ontario | | --- | --- | --- | | Materials covered | packaging, paper products | paper, glass, metal, plastic, other | | Product classes covered | packaging, paper | primary packaging, secondary packaging, shipment packaging, other | | Excluded from scope | exempt materials | producers under revenue exemption, newspaper producers for collection management and promotion | | Sales channels addressed | physical retail, remote sale, other distribution | retail, wholesale, online, online marketplace | | Producer duty: primary packaging | manufacturer; licensee; brand_owner; importer | brand_owner; importer; seller; marketplace | | Exemption 1 | A de minimis producer introduced under one ton or earned under $2,000,000 in global gross revenue in its most recent fiscal year. | Producers with gross annual Ontario revenue under 2,000,000 dollars are exempt from all producer requirements. | | Producer duty: secondary packaging | not yet published | brand_owner; importer; seller; marketplace | | Producer duty: tertiary packaging | not yet published | brand_owner; importer; seller; marketplace | | Producer duty: shipping packaging | not yet published | brand_owner; importer; seller; marketplace | | Producer duty: service packaging | not yet published | seller | | Producer duty: other packaging | not yet published | brand_owner; importer; seller; marketplace | | Reporting categories | not yet published | 7, material category | | Published targets | not yet published | paper_management_requirement 80 by 2027-12-31; rigid_plastic_management_requirement 50 by 2027-12-31; flexible_plastic_management_requirement 10 by 2027-12-31; glass_management_requirement 75 by 2027-12-31; metal_management_requirement 67 by 2027-12-31; beverage_container_management_requirement 75 by 2027-12-31 | | Exemption 2 | not yet published | Producers above the revenue level but below the per-category supply weights are exempt from collection, management and promotion and education, but still register and report. | | Exemption 3 | not yet published | Producers whose newspaper supply is more than 70 percent of their total Blue Box weight are exempt from collection, management and promotion and education. | ## Thresholds and exemptions in Minnesota and Ontario Every verified threshold Minnesota and Ontario publish, as each states it. **Verified thresholds in Minnesota and Ontario** | Place | Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis as published | | --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- | | Minnesota | packaging tonnage | 1 short ton | exempt below | covered material introduced, most recent fiscal year | | Minnesota | revenue | $2,000,000 | exempt below | global gross revenue, most recent fiscal year | | Ontario | revenue | CA$2,000,000 | exempt below | gross annual Ontario revenue from products and services | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 9 tonnes | exempt below | paper supplied in Ontario per year (9,000 kg) | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 2 tonnes | exempt below | rigid plastic supplied in Ontario per year (2,000 kg) | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 2 tonnes | exempt below | flexible plastic supplied in Ontario per year (2,000 kg) | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | glass supplied in Ontario per year (1,000 kg) | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | metal supplied in Ontario per year (1,000 kg) | | Ontario | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | beverage containers supplied in Ontario per year (1,000 kg) | Minnesota exemption: A de minimis producer introduced under one ton or earned under $2,000,000 in global gross revenue in its most recent fiscal year. It does not have to be applied for. Ontario exemption: Producers with gross annual Ontario revenue under 2,000,000 dollars are exempt from all producer requirements. It does not have to be applied for. Ontario exemption: Producers above the revenue level but below the per-category supply weights are exempt from collection, management and promotion and education, but still register and report. It does not have to be applied for. Ontario exemption: Producers whose newspaper supply is more than 70 percent of their total Blue Box weight are exempt from collection, management and promotion and education. It does not have to be applied for. Read the basis column first: the same amount can exempt a producer in one programme and only simplify its report in another. The lowest revenue exemption is $2,000,000 in Minnesota and CA$2,000,000 in Ontario ($1,430,820 at the Bank of Canada 2025 annual average rate). Ontario therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Minnesota but still in scope in Ontario. The lowest weight exemption is 907.2 kg of packaging in Minnesota and 1 tonne in Ontario, about 1.1 times as much in Ontario as in Minnesota. A seller whose packaging falls between the two lines is exempt in Ontario but counted in Minnesota. ## Fees per kilogram for shared materials Neither Minnesota nor Ontario has a verified per-kilogram fee schedule in the dataset yet. Until both sides publish per-kilogram rates for the same material class, a fee comparison between Minnesota and Ontario would mean inventing a figure, and this page does not do that. > **Not yet published**: Minnesota: no verified per-kilogram fee schedule is in the dataset yet. > **Not yet published**: Ontario: no verified per-kilogram fee schedule is in the dataset yet. ## Deadlines in Minnesota and Ontario Each verified date, with the period it covers when one is given. **Verified deadlines in Minnesota and Ontario** | Place | Kind | Date | Covers | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Minnesota | registration | July 1, 2026 | not yet published | | Minnesota | report | May 31, 2026 | not yet published | | Minnesota | other | December 31, 2026 | not yet published | | Minnesota | other | October 1, 2028 | not yet published | | Minnesota | payment | February 1, 2029 | not yet published | | Minnesota | payment | February 1, 2030 | not yet published | | Minnesota | payment | February 1, 2031 | not yet published | | Ontario | report | May 31, 2026 | calendar year 2025 | | Ontario | report | May 31, 2026 | calendar year 2025 | > **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Ontario: the performance audit date. Reason: The page says the audit starts in 2027 but gives no day. 31 May is assumed only because performance reports are due then; confirm. The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31. ## Penalties in Minnesota and Ontario What each side has published; a side without an amount says so. Minnesota penalty for violation of sections 115A.144 to 115A.1463: up to $25,000 per day. > **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Ontario: penalty amounts. Reason: Amounts sit in the Administrative Penalties Regulation, which was not read. Nothing is recorded rather than guessed. ## Report formats in Minnesota and Ontario How the report file for Minnesota compares with the one for Ontario. **Report file layouts for Minnesota and Ontario** | Aspect | Minnesota | Ontario | | --- | --- | --- | | Layout | Minnesota interim producer supply report by material class 2026-09-29 (interim, built from CAA guidance) | Ontario Blue Box supply report (working layout) Working layout, sources reviewed 2026-11-04 | | Recipient | Circular Action Alliance (Minnesota PRO) | Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) | | How it is submitted | CAA producer portal. The customer signs in and submits. | RPRA Registry (online). The customer signs in and enters or submits. | | File type | csv | csv | | Encoding | utf-8 | utf-8 | | Delimiter | , | , | | Decimal separator | . | | Columns | 4 | 4 | | Required columns | 4 of 4 | 4 of 4 | | Weight unit | lb | kg | | Period basis | calendar year | calendar year | > **Not yet published**: Minnesota: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The PRO says Minnesota material reporting categories are not defined, and the draft plan is not expected until 2027. Only the simplified interim reporting exists, and it is portal-only. The layout above is Instica’s working layout. > **Not yet published**: Ontario: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The field list is published: the Blue Box supply report is entered on screen in the RPRA Registry, supply weight in kilograms in seven material categories for the previous calendar year, with a Brand Supply List upload (CSV UTF-8) and an executive attestation. Instica's file is its own working worksheet by Instica category and does not yet reproduce the seven categories, so its figures are for the customer to enter in the Registry. The layout above is Instica’s working layout. The two layouts share a file type and a delimiter, but each programme names its own columns and categories, so one file cannot be sent to both programmes. Each report is built from the same underlying measurements and exported separately. ## Which to plan for first, Minnesota or Ontario Check the exemption thresholds before anything else. Ontario reaches smaller sellers than Minnesota, so a seller that is exempt in Minnesota may still have to register in Ontario. ## Questions about comparing these two programmes ### Is Minnesota or Ontario stricter on packaging EPR? Ontario exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$2,000,000 against $2,000,000 in Minnesota. Minnesota has the lower weight floor, 907.2 kg against 1 tonne in Ontario. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. ### Do I register in both Minnesota and Ontario? Minnesota requires producers to register. Ontario requires producers to register. ### How do the fees per kilogram compare in Minnesota and Ontario? The dataset does not hold per-kilogram rates for the same material class on both sides, so this page does not compare fees. ### Which deadline comes first, Minnesota or Ontario? The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31. ## How these figures are made > **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares.
