# New Brunswick vs Saskatchewan EPR: Rules Compared

Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/compare/new-brunswick-vs-saskatchewan

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

New Brunswick and Saskatchewan both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Saskatchewan exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$1,000,000 against CA$2,000,000 in New Brunswick. Both set the lowest weight exemption at 1 tonne. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31.

## New Brunswick and Saskatchewan side by side

6 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of New Brunswick and Saskatchewan; 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>**New Brunswick and Saskatchewan: the measures both programmes publish**

| Measure | New Brunswick | Saskatchewan | Stricter |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration duty | Required | Required | Same |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable |
| Lowest revenue exemption | CA$2,000,000 | CA$1,000,000 | Saskatchewan |
| Lowest weight exemption | 1 tonne | 1 tonne | Same |
| First annual report date | May 31 | May 31 | Same |
| Published penalties | not yet published | not yet published | Not comparable |
| Report file | csv | csv | Not comparable |
| Paper fee, cheapest matched rate | 68 cents per kilogram | 31 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |
| Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | 195 cents per kilogram | 113 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |

<a id="calc-revenue"></a>The lowest revenue exemption is CA$2,000,000 in New Brunswick and CA$1,000,000 in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in New Brunswick but still in scope in Saskatchewan.

<a id="calc-mass"></a>The lowest weight exemption is the same on both sides: 1 tonne of packaging.

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

<a id="calc-report-date"></a>The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31.

<a id="calc-rates"></a>Across 5 shared material classes, New Brunswick publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 5, and Saskatchewan in 0. A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.

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

## Who runs the programme in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan

Who collects and who the producer files with, in New Brunswick and then Saskatchewan.

<a id="programme-table"></a>**New Brunswick and Saskatchewan: how each programme is set up**

| Aspect | New Brunswick | Saskatchewan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regime | Designated Materials Regulation, N.B. Reg. 2024-37 (Clean Environment Act) | Household Packaging and Paper Stewardship Program Regulations, 2023 |
| Regulator | Recycle New Brunswick (stewardship board) | not yet published |
| Producers obligated | Yes | Yes |
| Registration | Required, Recycle New Brunswick (stewardship board) | Required, SK Recycles producer portal |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Materials; membership required | one producer responsibility organisation: SK Recycles; membership required |
| Transfer of responsibility | Allowed | not yet published |
| Revenue counted as | gross revenue inside the jurisdiction, CAD, year | not yet published |
| Who counts as the producer | other: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; primary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; secondary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; service: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; shipping: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace; tertiary: brand owner, importer, seller, online marketplace | primary: brand owner, importer, seller; secondary: brand owner, importer, seller; tertiary: brand owner, importer, seller |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Saskatchewan: the regulator. Reason: Regulator naming from program pages; the regulation text (earlier URL 404) was not read.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Saskatchewan: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Transfer rules not read.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Saskatchewan: how revenue is counted. Reason: Whether the revenue test is Saskatchewan-only was not stated on the page.

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

<a id="scope"></a>

## What New Brunswick and Saskatchewan cover, side by side

Each row below is one published feature of the two programmes; a cell reads “not yet published” when New Brunswick or Saskatchewan has no verified entry for it in the dataset.

<a id="scope-table"></a>**Scope, producer duties, categories, labelling and targets, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan**

| Aspect | New Brunswick | Saskatchewan |
| --- | --- | --- |

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Thresholds and exemptions in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan

Every verified threshold New Brunswick and Saskatchewan publish, as each states it.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Verified thresholds in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan**

| Place | Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis as published |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| New Brunswick | revenue | CA$2,000,000 | exempt below | gross annual New Brunswick revenue |
| New Brunswick | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | packaging and paper per year |
| Saskatchewan | packaging weight | 1,000 kg | exempt below | annual supply to Saskatchewan residents |
| Saskatchewan | packaging weight | 5,000 kg | flat-fee band | 1,000 to 5,000 kg |
| Saskatchewan | revenue | CA$1,000,000 | exempt below | annual revenue |

<a id="a-exemption-s59"></a>New Brunswick exemption: Under CAD 2,000,000 NB revenue, under one tonne, or a registered charity It does not have to be applied for.

<a id="b-exemption-low-volume"></a>Saskatchewan exemption: Under 1,000 kg to Saskatchewan residents It does not have to be applied for.

<a id="b-exemption-small-revenue"></a>Saskatchewan exemption: Businesses under CAD 1 million in annual revenue 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 CA$2,000,000 in New Brunswick and CA$1,000,000 in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in New Brunswick but still in scope in Saskatchewan.

The lowest weight exemption is the same on both sides: 1 tonne of packaging.

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

## Fees per kilogram for shared materials

5 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, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan**

| Material class | New Brunswick (CAD per kg) | Saskatchewan (CAD per kg) | Higher fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 68 cents per kilogram | 31 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |
| plastic | 195 cents per kilogram | 113 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |
| glass | 47 cents per kilogram | 30 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |
| aluminium | 100 cents per kilogram | 86 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |
| steel | 83 cents per kilogram | 46 cents per kilogram | New Brunswick |

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

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

## Which to plan for first, New Brunswick or Saskatchewan

Check the exemption thresholds before anything else. Saskatchewan reaches smaller sellers than New Brunswick, so a seller that is exempt in New Brunswick may still have to register in Saskatchewan.

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

## Questions about comparing these two programmes

### <a id="q1"></a>Is New Brunswick or Saskatchewan stricter on packaging EPR?

Saskatchewan exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$1,000,000 against CA$2,000,000 in New Brunswick. Both set the lowest weight exemption at 1 tonne. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. New Brunswick publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 5 of 5 shared material classes.

### <a id="q2"></a>Do I register in both New Brunswick and Saskatchewan?

New Brunswick requires producers to register. Saskatchewan requires producers to register.

### <a id="q3"></a>How do the fees per kilogram compare in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan?

Across 5 shared material classes, New Brunswick publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 5, and Saskatchewan in 0. A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.

### <a id="q4"></a>Which deadline comes first, New Brunswick or Saskatchewan?

The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31.
