# Québec vs Yukon EPR: Rules Compared

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

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

Québec and Yukon both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Yukon exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$1,000,000 against CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Both set the lowest weight exemption at 1 tonne. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. Yukon publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 5 of 5 shared material classes.

## Québec and Yukon side by side

5 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of Québec and Yukon; 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>**Québec and Yukon: the measures both programmes publish**

| Measure | Québec | Yukon | Stricter |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration duty | Required | not yet published | Not comparable |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable |
| Lowest revenue exemption | CA$1,300,000 | CA$1,000,000 | Yukon |
| 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 | 806.84 CAD/tonne | 136 cents per kilogram | Yukon |
| Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | 1,882.29 CAD/tonne | 588 cents per kilogram | Yukon |

<a id="calc-revenue"></a>The lowest revenue exemption is CA$1,300,000 in Québec and CA$1,000,000 in Yukon. Yukon therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Québec but still in scope in Yukon.

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

<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, Yukon publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 5, and Québec in 0. A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.

## Who runs the programme in Québec and Yukon

Who collects and who the producer files with, in Québec and then Yukon.

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

| Aspect | Québec | Yukon |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regime | Regulation respecting a system of selective collection of certain residual materials (Q-2, r. 46.01) | Extended Producer Responsibility Regulation, OIC 2024/19 (effective 2024-01-25; launched 2025-11-01) |
| Regulator | not yet published | Government of Yukon, Ministry of the Environment |
| Producers obligated | Yes | Yes |
| Registration | Required, ÉEQ declaration portal | not yet published |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ); membership required | one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Materials; membership required |
| Revenue counted as | gross revenue inside the jurisdiction, CAD, year | gross revenue inside the jurisdiction, CAD, completed year |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Québec: the regulator. Reason: Regulator naming from the legal-framework page.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Québec: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Sections summarised.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Yukon: the registration duty. Reason: Registration wording not read.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Yukon: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Summarised.

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

## What Québec and Yukon cover, side by side

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

<a id="scope-table"></a>**Scope, producer duties, categories, labelling and targets, Québec and Yukon**

| Aspect | Québec | Yukon |

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

## Thresholds and exemptions in Québec and Yukon

Every verified threshold Québec and Yukon publish, as each states it.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Verified thresholds in Québec and Yukon**

| Place | Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis as published |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Québec | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | targeted materials |
| Québec | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | targeted materials placed on the market |
| Québec | revenue | CA$1,300,000 | exempt below | annual sales (the fee schedule page says 1M or less, 1.3M as of 2024; the step-by-step reporting page says less than 1.3M) |
| Yukon | revenue | CA$1,000,000 | exempt below | revenue in Yukon |
| Yukon | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | supply |

<a id="a-exemption-small-business"></a>Québec exemption: Under 1 tonne AND sales under 1.3 million: no report It does not have to be applied for.

<a id="b-exemption-small-steward"></a>Yukon exemption: Charity, under CAD 1,000,000 Yukon revenue or under one tonne 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$1,300,000 in Québec and CA$1,000,000 in Yukon. Yukon therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Québec but still in scope in Yukon.

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, Québec and Yukon**

| Material class | Québec (CAD per kg) | Yukon (CAD per kg) | Higher fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 806.84 CAD/tonne | 136 cents per kilogram | Yukon |
| plastic | 1,882.29 CAD/tonne | 588 cents per kilogram | Yukon |
| glass | 654.24 CAD/tonne | 122 cents per kilogram | Yukon |
| aluminium | 476.19 CAD/tonne | 455 cents per kilogram | Yukon |
| steel | 703.17 CAD/tonne | 211 cents per kilogram | Yukon |

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

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, Québec or Yukon

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

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

## Questions about comparing these two programmes

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

Yukon exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$1,000,000 against CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Both set the lowest weight exemption at 1 tonne. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. Yukon publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 5 of 5 shared material classes.

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

Québec requires producers to register. Yukon has not yet published its registration duty.

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

Across 5 shared material classes, Yukon publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 5, and Québec 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, Québec or Yukon?

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