Open this file to see how each place defines the producer and what its law covers. One row is one sourced fact about a jurisdiction: its regime, regulator, whether it is obligated, who counts as a producer, revenue scope, categories, languages and reporting notes.

The rows were read from 131 source documents between September 29, 2026 and November 5, 2026. Where a source states an effective date, it falls between March 5, 2020 and January 1, 2031.

286 of the 556 rows are pending. A pending row stays in the file with an empty value and a stated reason, so you can see which figures are not yet published and filter them out before you compute.

## Download and checksums

Download jurisdictions.csv (263.3 KB) or jurisdictions.json (423.4 KB). The SHA-256 of the CSV is `c78ab32a935bfce9e20eb20809dd001aa5ca764ac4248e060e9a91d2cdaa8e6b` and of the JSON `53e0f35867bc2440a02dc764bfecd0481f149462eb1f8d496f715246959de0b5`; compare them with your copy to confirm you hold this bundle.

From a shell: `curl -O https://instica.com/epr/data/jurisdictions.csv`. In a spreadsheet, import the CSV as UTF-8 with a comma separator. In a script, read the CSV with any CSV parser, or the JSON file for native types.

Filter on `status` before you compute. Rows with status pending have no value by design.

## Frequently asked questions

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

## How to read these figures

> **Estimate**: The figures on this page are estimates we prepare from the published sources listed below. Instica measures your packaging and prepares the numbers; you check them, sign and submit to the regulator or scheme yourself. We never submit for you and never store regulator-portal credentials.

Every figure in the app carries a data-quality label: measured, supplier, estimated or declared. [How we measure and label figures](https://instica.com/epr/methodology). This page is information, not legal advice.

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

> **Note**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. These files record what regulators and programmes publish, with the quote and the link, as of the retrieval date on each row. They are not legal advice. The producer signs and submits their own report. Data last built November 5, 2026.
