A lighter jar for the same volume lowers the fee more than any change to the lid or label.\n\nThe 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.\n\nWhere 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.\n\nFood 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."
