# Jars packaging EPR Belgium: what a glass jar costs per 1,000 packs, 2027

Last verified: September 29, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/jar/belgium

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

In Belgium, 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size (201 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of €20.65 to €48.11 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

<a id="what"></a>

## What this page estimates for a glass jar in Belgium

The glass jar on this page is a jar closed by a metal lid with a plastic seal, with a paper label stuck on the glass. It has 3 components, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Fost Plus Packaging EPR rates (household) for Belgium; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in EUR. The figures are estimates built on starting weights.

<a id="anatomy"></a>

## What is in a glass jar

The jar has three components: the glass body, the metal lid and the paper label. Each is matched to its own published rate.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: jar (glass, 190 g), lid (steel, 9 g), and label (paper, 2 g).

- **Jar**: glass, 190 g (Instica starting estimate)
- **Lid**: steel, 9 g (Instica starting estimate)
- **Label**: paper, 2 g (Instica starting estimate)

<a id="worked-example"></a>

## Worked example: 1,000 glass jars in Belgium

One glass jar of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size weighs 201 g in total. For each component the table gives its weight, the matched published rates, and the fee for 1,000 packs.

<a id="worked-example-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 glass jars in Belgium, in EUR**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Jar | 190 g | Glass | €19.99 | €0.0200 |
| Lid | 9 g | Aluminium ≥ 50μm to Beverage capsules - aluminium | €0.36 to €27.82 | €0.0004 to €0.0278 |
| Label | 2 g | Paper-cardboard | €0.30 | €0.0003 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Belgium: 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size are estimated at €20.65 to €48.11 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is €20.65 to €48.11.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about €0.0206 to €0.0481.

## How size changes the fee for a glass jar

The weight of a glass jar depends on its size. The table prices each of the 4 sizes with the same matched rates, so the only thing that changes between rows is the weight.

<a id="sizes-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 glass jars by size in Belgium, in EUR**

| Size | Weight each | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack, lowest | Per pack, highest |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Small (about 4 oz) | 118 g | €12.00 | €33.36 | €0.012 | €0.0334 |
| Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) | 201 g | €20.65 | €48.11 | €0.0206 | €0.0481 |
| Large (about 12 oz) | 252 g | €25.95 | €56.46 | €0.0259 | €0.0565 |
| Extra large (about 16 oz) | 315 g | €32.49 | €69.10 | €0.0325 | €0.0691 |

Each component of the glass jar priced at every size, at the matched rates for Belgium.

<a id="matrix"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by component and size, Belgium, in EUR**

| Component | Small (about 4 oz) | Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) | Large (about 12 oz) | Extra large (about 16 oz) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Jar | 110 g: €11.57 | 190 g: €19.99 | 240 g: €25.25 | 300 g: €31.56 |
| Lid | 7 g: €0.28 to €21.64 | 9 g: €0.36 to €27.82 | 10 g: €0.40 to €30.91 | 12 g: €0.48 to €37.09 |
| Label | 1 g: €0.15 | 2 g: €0.30 | 2 g: €0.30 | 3 g: €0.45 |

<a id="options"></a>

## What if the glass jar used another material?

Suppose the main component of the glass jar, weighing 190 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that Belgium publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Belgium, in EUR per 1,000 packs**

| Material | Lowest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate | Highest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 0.1503 EUR/kg | €28.56 | 0.1503 EUR/kg | €28.56 |
| plastic | 1.2721 EUR/kg | €241.70 | 2.1425 EUR/kg | €407.08 |
| glass | 0.1052 EUR/kg | €19.99 | 0.1052 EUR/kg | €19.99 |
| aluminium | 3.0910 EUR/kg | €587.29 | 3.0910 EUR/kg | €587.29 |
| steel | 0.3310 EUR/kg | €62.89 | 0.3310 EUR/kg | €62.89 |

<a id="options-all"></a>**Every matched rate of the other materials at 190 g, Belgium, in EUR**

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | Paper-cardboard | 0.1503 EUR/kg | €28.56 | €0.0286 |

| steel | Steel | 0.3310 EUR/kg | €62.89 | €0.0629 |

A fee comparison only: another material changes weight and protection too.

<a id="volume"></a>

## What a larger run of glass jars costs in Belgium

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) glass jar in Belgium. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.

<a id="volume-table"></a>**Fee by run size for the glass jar in Belgium, in EUR**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 20.1 kg | €2.06 | €4.81 |
| 500 | 100.5 kg | €10.32 | €24.05 |
| 1,000 | 201 kg | €20.65 | €48.11 |
| 5,000 | 1,005 kg | €103.24 | €240.54 |
| 10,000 | 2,010 kg | €206.48 | €481.08 |
| 50,000 | 10,050 kg | €1,032.39 | €2,405.38 |
| 100,000 | 20,100 kg | €2,064.77 | €4,810.76 |
| 500,000 | 100,500 kg | €10,323.85 | €24,053.80 |
| 1,000,000 | 201,000 kg | €20,647.70 | €48,107.60 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Belgium: a single glass jar is estimated at €0.0206 to €0.0481 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Belgium: across all its components, a glass jar is priced at €0.1027 to €0.2393 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at €0.1027 to €0.2393 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.

Flat fee bands, registration fees and minimum charges sit outside this per-kilogram table.

<a id="history"></a>

## How the fee for glass jars has moved on Belgium schedules

Belgium has published 2 per-mass fee schedules that price this pack. The same Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) glass jars are priced on each below, with the same weights and the same matching rules, so only the published rates differ.

<a id="history-table"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by schedule, Belgium, in EUR**

| Schedule | Effective from | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack | Change in the lowest fee |

<a id="hist-be-2026"></a>Belgium: on the 2026 schedule, effective January 1, 2026, 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size were priced at €20.73 to €52.26.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for Belgium

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Fost Plus Packaging EPR rates (household) for Belgium, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Belgium: the 2027 fee schedule of Fost Plus Packaging EPR rates (household), effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used on this page.

<a id="other-minimum-contribution"></a>Belgium: the schedule lists a further fee, “Minimum contribution”, of 100 EUR per year.

The schedule also lists one other fee, which is not part of the per-kilogram estimate on this page.

<a id="levers"></a>

## Ways to lower the fee on a glass jar

Glass is heavy, so glass weight dominates the total. A lighter jar for the same volume lowers the fee more than any change to the lid or label.

The metal lid and the paper label are small in mass, but they are priced as steel and paper, which can cost more or less per kilogram than glass.

Where a programme publishes a separate rate for coloured glass or for refillable glass, the colour and the reuse model of the jar can change the line it falls under.

Food and cosmetics sellers often change jar size by a few grams between suppliers, which is why the size table above shows each size on its own.
