# Packaging EPR due dates Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/deadlines Instica lists 180 verified packaging EPR deadlines across 48 jurisdictions, with calendar pages for 2026, 2027, 2028. Every date names its source, the period it covers and the day the source was read. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the data; you sign and submit each filing yourself. ## Overview This calendar collects every verified packaging EPR deadline in the Instica data: 180 dates across 48 jurisdictions. A deadline is verified when its date or rule was read from a primary source, with the quote kept in the language of the source and the retrieval date shown. Use the year pages for 3 calendar years to see what falls when, and the page of a place for the quote, the period covered and the file that goes with each report date. Jurisdictions that publish no verified deadline yet have no page here; their dates appear as soon as a primary source states them. ## Deadlines by year Dates by calendar year. A yearly rule counts in every year it applies. **Verified dates per year** | Year | Verified dates | | --- | --- | | 2026 | 106 | | 2027 | 63 | | 2028 | 50 | ## Every jurisdiction with a verified deadline **Verified deadlines per jurisdiction, with the first dated entry and the kinds of date** | Place | Verified dates | First dated entry | Kinds | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Austria](https://instica.com/epr/austria/deadlines) | 10 | January 1, 2023 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [Belgium](https://instica.com/epr/belgium/deadlines) | 5 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [Bulgaria](https://instica.com/epr/bulgaria/deadlines) | 4 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [Alberta](https://instica.com/epr/alberta/deadlines) | 4 | October 1, 2026 | Other date, Report, Payment | | [British Columbia](https://instica.com/epr/british-columbia/deadlines) | 2 | Not stated | Report, Payment | | Manitoba | 3 | Not stated | Registration deadline, Report, Payment | | [New Brunswick](https://instica.com/epr/new-brunswick/deadlines) | 3 | June 30, 2025 | Registration deadline, Plan submission, Report | | [Nova Scotia](https://instica.com/epr/nova-scotia/deadlines) | 4 | January 1, 2024 | Registration deadline, Payment, Report | | Ontario | 3 | May 31, 2026 | Report, Registration deadline | | [Québec](https://instica.com/epr/quebec/deadlines) | 7 | May 31, 2026 | Report, Other date, Payment | | [Saskatchewan](https://instica.com/epr/saskatchewan/deadlines) | 5 | Not stated | Report, Payment | | [Yukon](https://instica.com/epr/yukon/deadlines) | 3 | Not stated | Report | | [Switzerland](https://instica.com/epr/switzerland/deadlines) | 3 | Not stated | Report | | Cyprus | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | Czechia | 6 | January 1, 2023 | Other date, Registration deadline, Report | | [Germany](https://instica.com/epr/germany/deadlines) | 3 | December 31, 2026 | Report | | Denmark | 5 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report, Payment | | Estonia | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [Spain](https://instica.com/epr/spain/deadlines) | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Finland | 4 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | France | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [United Kingdom](https://instica.com/epr/uk/deadlines) | 7 | October 1, 2026 | Registration deadline, Report, Other date | | [United Kingdom Plastic Packaging Tax](https://instica.com/epr/uk-plastic-packaging-tax/deadlines) | 4 | April 1, 2027 | Other date, Registration deadline, Report | | Greece | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | Croatia | 4 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | Hungary | 4 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | Ireland | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Registration deadline, Other date, Report | | [Iceland](https://instica.com/epr/iceland/deadlines) | 6 | Not stated | Payment | | [Italy](https://instica.com/epr/italy/deadlines) | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Lithuania | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Luxembourg | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Latvia | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Malta | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Netherlands | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | [Norway](https://instica.com/epr/norway/deadlines) | 2 | Not stated | Report | | Poland | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report, Payment | | Portugal | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Romania | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Sweden | 3 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Slovenia | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | Slovakia | 2 | August 12, 2026 | Other date, Report | | [California](https://instica.com/epr/california/deadlines) | 3 | January 1, 2027 | Registration deadline, Category list update, Other date | | [Colorado](https://instica.com/epr/colorado/deadlines) | 2 | January 1, 2026 | Payment, Other date | | Maryland | 6 | May 31, 2026 | Registration deadline, Report, Payment, Other date | | [Maine](https://instica.com/epr/maine/deadlines) | 3 | May 31, 2027 | Report, Payment, Registration deadline | | Minnesota | 7 | May 31, 2026 | Report, Registration deadline, Other date, Payment | | Oregon | 5 | July 1, 2025 | Other date, Report, Payment | | [Washington](https://instica.com/epr/washington/deadlines) | 8 | March 1, 2026 | Other date, Report, Registration deadline, Payment | ## What each kind of date means The dates in the calendar fall into a few kinds, each with a different job: #### Registration deadline A registration deadline is the date by which a producer has to be on the register, or signed up with the programme, before it places covered packaging on the market. Who has to register depends on the place: it is often the brand owner, the importer or the marketplace, and the quote under each date shows the wording. Instica reads the date from the source and shows it beside the period it opens. The registration itself is something you do in the official registry. #### Other date Some dates in the source are neither a registration, a report nor a payment, for example a date from which a rule applies or a notice period. They are listed with the same source and quote as every other date, and the note beside each one says what it is. #### Report A report deadline is the date by which the packaging quantities for a stated period have to reach the receiving office or programme. The period covered is shown with the date, because the same report can be due a few months after the period ends. Instica measures and estimates the weights, prepares the file in the layout of the recipient and shows you the numbers; you sign and submit it in the official portal. #### Payment A payment date is the day by which fees or dues have to be paid for a programme year. Some programmes fix the day in the rules and others set it on each invoice, which is why a month-only entry can appear without a day. Instica estimates the fee from the published rate schedule; the invoice and the payment stay between you and the programme. #### Plan submission A plan deadline is the date by which a programme plan or similar document has to be filed with the authority. It is not a fee or a weight report, so Instica lists the date and the source, and the document itself is yours to write and file. #### Category list update A category list update is the date from which the programme changes the material categories used in reports and fee schedules. When it falls, the weights you reported under the old categories may have to be mapped again, so Instica shows the date next to the reports it affects. ## How dates, yearly rules and month-only rules read The calendar is built from sources, not from a legal reading. When the source and this page differ, the source is right, and each entry gives its address. Where a date repeats every year, the calendar feed repeats it. Where the source gives a month or a rule in words, the page shows it and the feed leaves it out. For the file behind a report date, open the report-format page of the place. For the fee, open its fee schedule. Instica prepares both; the filing and the payment are yours. ## Add these dates to your calendar 143 of the 180 verified dates for all jurisdictions have a day in the source and are in the calendar feed. Subscribe once and your calendar adds new dates after each review. Every event carries the source address of the date, so you can open the page the date comes from. Entries without a day stay on this page. Interactive tool: Deadline calendar feed (ICS) (works on the web page) ## Frequently asked questions ### Which EPR deadlines are in this calendar? Every deadline that a primary source states with a date or a rule, in every jurisdiction in the Instica data that has at least one. An entry without a primary source is shown as not yet published on the page of its place and never as a date. ### How often is the calendar reviewed? Each entry shows the day it was retrieved from its source, and the pages show the date of the last review. Dates can change between reviews, so use the source address on each entry before you act. ### Can I get all dates in my own calendar? Yes. The calendar feed on this page holds every verified date that has a day. It adds the source address to each event and repeats yearly rules. Dates given only as a month or in words are not in the feed. ### Does Instica file the reports on these dates? No. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures and the file. You sign and submit each filing in the official portal yourself. ## How to read this page > **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every date and layout on this page comes from the source named beside it and is shown as published on the retrieval date; it can change, so check the source before you act. You sign and submit each report yourself in the regulator or programme portal. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you.
