# Netherlands vs Oregon EPR: Rules Compared

Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/compare/netherlands-vs-oregon

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

Netherlands and Oregon both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Both require producers to register. Oregon asks for its first annual report earlier, on May 31 against June 1 in Netherlands. Every figure below links to its primary source.

## Netherlands and Oregon side by side

2 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of Netherlands and Oregon; 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.

<a id="glance-table"></a>**Netherlands and Oregon: the measures both programmes publish**

| Measure | Netherlands | Oregon | Stricter |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration duty | Required | Required | Same |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable |
| Lowest revenue exemption | none recorded; see thresholds | $5,000,000 | Not comparable |
| Lowest weight exemption | none recorded; see thresholds | 1 tonne | Not comparable |
| First annual report date | June 1 | May 31 | Oregon |

| Paper fee, cheapest matched rate | 0.017 EUR/kg | 2.0 cents per pound | Not comparable |
| Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | 0.87 EUR/kg | 12.0 cents per pound | Not comparable |

<a id="calc-registration"></a>Both programmes require a producer to register, in Netherlands and in Oregon.

<a id="calc-report-date"></a>The earliest annual report date is June 1 in Netherlands and May 31 in Oregon, 1 day apart. Oregon leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="programme"></a>

## Who runs the programme in Netherlands and Oregon

Who collects and who the producer files with, in Netherlands and then Oregon.

<a id="programme-table"></a>**Netherlands and Oregon: how each programme is set up**

| Aspect | Netherlands | Oregon |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regime | Besluit beheer verpakkingen 2014 (Packaging Management Decree) with the Verpact waste-management contribution | Oregon Recycling Modernization Act, ORS 459A.860 to 459A.975 (SB 582 of 2021) |
| Regulator | not yet published | Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) |
| Producers obligated | Yes | Yes |
| Registration | Required, Verpact (formerly Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) | Required, Circular Action Alliance producer portal (PRO registration); DEQ holds no separate producer registry |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Verpact; membership required | one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Action Alliance; membership required |
| Transfer of responsibility | not yet published | Allowed |
| Revenue counted as | not yet published | organisation gross revenue, USD, fiscal year |
| Who counts as the producer | primary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; secondary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; service: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; shipping: online marketplace seller, manufacturer or brand owner; tertiary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor | other: first distributor; primary: manufacturer or brand owner, brand licensee, importer; secondary: manufacturer or brand owner, brand licensee, importer; service: first distributor; shipping: packer and shipper; tertiary: first distributor |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Netherlands: the regulator. Reason: The decree names 'Onze Minister'; the executing agency was not verified against a primary page.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Netherlands: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Whether and how the obligation can be transferred to a service provider or authorised representative was not found on the retrieved pages.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Netherlands: how revenue is counted. Reason: The obligation is weight-based; no revenue basis is stated on the retrieved pages.

Both programmes organise producer responsibility the same way: one producer responsibility organisation. The practical differences between Netherlands and Oregon therefore sit in thresholds, fees, dates and report formats rather than in whom a producer deals with.

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

## Fees per kilogram for shared materials

4 material classes have a published rate on both sides; each row shows the cheapest rate that fits the class.

<a id="rates-table"></a>**Cheapest published rate per kilogram by material class, Netherlands and Oregon**

| Material class | Netherlands (EUR per kg) | Oregon (USD per kg) | Oregon in EUR, approx. | Higher fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 0.017 EUR/kg | 2.0 cents per pound | not yet published | Not comparable |
| plastic | 0.87 EUR/kg | 12.0 cents per pound | not yet published | Not comparable |
| glass | 0.100 EUR/kg | 0.0 cents per pound | not yet published | Not comparable |
| steel | 0.360 EUR/kg | 4.0 cents per pound | not yet published | Not comparable |

Scaling the cheapest published rate by weight shows what the gap between Netherlands and Oregon amounts to for a given tonnage of one material. The amounts are the rate times the weight, nothing added.

The two schedules are in different currencies (EUR and USD) and the dataset holds no published exchange rate between them, so this page does not rank the fees. Compare them in your own currency before you decide.

## Deadlines in Netherlands and Oregon

Each verified date, with the period it covers when one is given.

<a id="deadlines-table"></a>**Verified deadlines in Netherlands and Oregon**

| Place | Kind | Date | Covers |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Netherlands | report | June 1 | the previous calendar year |
| Netherlands | other | August 12, 2026 | not yet published |
| Netherlands | report | August 1 | the previous calendar year |

| Oregon | other | July 1, 2025 | not yet published |
| Oregon | other | January 1, 2027 | not yet published |
| Oregon | report | December 31, 2026 | not yet published |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Oregon: the report 2026 supply date. Reason: CAA sets the report date each cycle. The next date was not published on the pages read.

The earliest annual report date is June 1 in Netherlands and May 31 in Oregon, 1 day apart. Oregon leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="penalties"></a>

## Penalties in Netherlands and Oregon

What each side has published; a side without an amount says so.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Netherlands: penalty amounts. Reason: The penalty follows from three chained instruments (BBV, Wm, WED); no single source text states the penalty for a BBV breach, and the fourth-category euro amount was not fetched.

<a id="b-penalty-0"></a>Oregon penalty for failing to register or become a member of a producer responsibility organization: up to $25,000 per day.

## Report formats in Netherlands and Oregon

How the report file for Netherlands compares with the one for Oregon.

<a id="formats-table"></a>**Report file layouts for Netherlands and Oregon**

| Aspect | Netherlands | Oregon |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Layout | Netherlands packaging declaration (working layout) Working layout, sources reviewed 2026-11-04 | Oregon producer supply report by material category 2026-09-29 (built from CAA Oregon 2026 fee schedule) |
| Recipient | Verpact / Afvalfonds Verpakkingen | Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) |
| How it is submitted | Verpact online portal (aangifte and opgaaf). The customer signs in and submits. | CAA producer portal. The customer signs in and 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 | kg | lb |
| Period basis | calendar year | calendar year |

> **Not yet published**: Netherlands: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: Verpact publishes the declaration matrix (aangifte 2023 / opgaaf 2024): kilograms, or pieces where indicated, per material type and packaging category, entered in Verpact's online portal; versions for 2025 and 2026 were not checked. Instica's file is its own working worksheet in kilograms by Instica category and does not yet reproduce that layout, so its figures are for the customer to enter in the recipient's form. The layout above is Instica’s working layout.

> **Not yet published**: Oregon: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The detailed Oregon reporting guidance is released only to producers who have signed the CAA PPA. No public layout was found. 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.

<a id="choose"></a>

## Which to plan for first, Netherlands or Oregon

Plan around the earlier report date first. Oregon asks for its first annual report on May 31, before Netherlands, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Questions about comparing these two programmes

### <a id="q1"></a>Is Netherlands or Oregon stricter on packaging EPR?

Both require producers to register. Oregon asks for its first annual report earlier, on May 31 against June 1 in Netherlands.

### <a id="q2"></a>Do I register in both Netherlands and Oregon?

Netherlands requires producers to register. Oregon requires producers to register.

### <a id="q3"></a>How do the fees per kilogram compare in Netherlands and Oregon?

The two schedules share material classes but the dataset holds no published exchange rate between EUR and USD, so the fees are shown in each currency without a ranking.

### <a id="q4"></a>Which deadline comes first, Netherlands or Oregon?

The earliest annual report date is June 1 in Netherlands and May 31 in Oregon, 1 day apart. Oregon leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="estimate"></a>

## How these figures are made

> **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every figure on this page is read from a sourced record or computed from one, and each carries its data quality. Converted amounts are approximate and name the exchange rate used. The customer signs and submits each report; Instica never stores regulator login details and never files on your behalf. This page is general information about published rules; confirm your own position with a qualified adviser.
