# Jars EPR fees Nova Scotia: what a glass jar costs per 1,000 packs, 2027

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/jar/nova-scotia

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

In Nova Scotia, 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size (201 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of CA$110.30 to CA$111.20 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 Nova Scotia

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 Circular Materials Nova Scotia for Nova Scotia; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in CAD. 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)

## Worked example: 1,000 glass jars in Nova Scotia

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 Nova Scotia, in CAD**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Jar | 190 g | Clear Glass to Coloured Glass | CA$100.70 | CA$0.1007 |
| Lid | 9 g | Other Steel Containers and Packaging to Other Aluminum Packaging | CA$8.10 to CA$9.00 | CA$0.0081 to CA$0.0090 |
| Label | 2 g | Boxboard and Other Paper Packaging to Kraft Paper Carry-Out Bags | CA$1.50 | CA$0.0015 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Nova Scotia: 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size are estimated at CA$110.30 to CA$111.20 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is CA$110.30 to CA$111.20.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about CA$0.1103 to CA$0.1112.

<a id="sizes"></a>

## 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 Nova Scotia, in CAD**

| 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 | CA$65.35 | CA$66.05 | CA$0.0654 | CA$0.0661 |
| Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) | 201 g | CA$110.30 | CA$111.20 | CA$0.1103 | CA$0.1112 |
| Large (about 12 oz) | 252 g | CA$137.70 | CA$138.70 | CA$0.1377 | CA$0.1387 |
| Extra large (about 16 oz) | 315 g | CA$172.05 | CA$173.25 | CA$0.1721 | CA$0.1733 |

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

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

| Component | Small (about 4 oz) | Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) | Large (about 12 oz) | Extra large (about 16 oz) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Jar | 110 g: CA$58.30 | 190 g: CA$100.70 | 240 g: CA$127.20 | 300 g: CA$159.00 |
| Lid | 7 g: CA$6.30 to CA$7.00 | 9 g: CA$8.10 to CA$9.00 | 10 g: CA$9.00 to CA$10.00 | 12 g: CA$10.80 to CA$12.00 |
| Label | 1 g: CA$0.75 | 2 g: CA$1.50 | 2 g: CA$1.50 | 3 g: CA$2.25 |

<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 Nova Scotia publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Nova Scotia, in CAD 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 | 75 cents per kilogram | CA$142.50 | 75 cents per kilogram | CA$142.50 |
| plastic | 217 cents per kilogram | CA$412.30 | 217 cents per kilogram | CA$412.30 |
| glass | 53 cents per kilogram | CA$100.70 | 53 cents per kilogram | CA$100.70 |
| aluminium | 100 cents per kilogram | CA$190.00 | 100 cents per kilogram | CA$190.00 |
| steel | 90 cents per kilogram | CA$171.00 | 90 cents per kilogram | CA$171.00 |

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

| Material | Category | Published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | Boxboard and Other Paper Packaging | 75 cents per kilogram | CA$142.50 | CA$0.1425 |
| paper and board | Kraft Paper Carry-Out Bags | 75 cents per kilogram | CA$142.50 | CA$0.1425 |
| plastic | LDPE/HDPE Film | 217 cents per kilogram | CA$412.30 | CA$0.4123 |
| plastic | LDPE/HDPE Film Carry-Out Bags | 217 cents per kilogram | CA$412.30 | CA$0.4123 |
| aluminium | Aluminum Food Containers | 100 cents per kilogram | CA$190.00 | CA$0.19 |
| steel | Other Steel Containers and Packaging | 90 cents per kilogram | CA$171.00 | CA$0.171 |

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

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

## What a larger run of glass jars costs in Nova Scotia

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 Nova Scotia. 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 Nova Scotia, in CAD**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 20.1 kg | CA$11.03 | CA$11.12 |
| 500 | 100.5 kg | CA$55.15 | CA$55.60 |
| 1,000 | 201 kg | CA$110.30 | CA$111.20 |
| 5,000 | 1,005 kg | CA$551.50 | CA$556.00 |
| 10,000 | 2,010 kg | CA$1,103.00 | CA$1,112.00 |
| 50,000 | 10,050 kg | CA$5,515.00 | CA$5,560.00 |
| 100,000 | 20,100 kg | CA$11,030.00 | CA$11,120.00 |
| 500,000 | 100,500 kg | CA$55,150.00 | CA$55,600.00 |
| 1,000,000 | 201,000 kg | CA$110,300.00 | CA$111,200.00 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Nova Scotia: a single glass jar is estimated at CA$0.1103 to CA$0.1112 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Nova Scotia: across all its components, a glass jar is priced at CA$0.5488 to CA$0.5532 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at CA$0.5488 to CA$0.5532 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 Nova Scotia schedules

Nova Scotia 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, Nova Scotia, in CAD**

| 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-ca-ns-2026"></a>Nova Scotia: on the 2026 schedule, effective January 1, 2026, 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size were priced at CA$106.57 to CA$107.74.

<a id="schedule"></a>

## The fee schedule behind these figures for Nova Scotia

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Circular Materials Nova Scotia for Nova Scotia, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Nova Scotia: the 2027 fee schedule of Circular Materials Nova Scotia, effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used 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.

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

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>How much is the EPR fee for a glass jar in Nova Scotia?

For 1,000 glass jars of the Medium (about 8 to 9 oz) size, the estimated fee is CA$110.30 to CA$111.20 on the 2027 schedule, from the published rates that fit each component.

### <a id="q2"></a>Is this the amount I will pay?

No. It is an estimate for the packaging alone. Registration fees, flat fee bands, eco-modulation and thresholds sit outside the per-kilogram figure. Instica prepares the data; you check, sign and submit it, and Instica never stores regulator login details.

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