<a id="who"></a>

## Who is the producer in Manitoba

In Manitoba, packaging EPR obliges producers to organise or fund the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.

The producer hierarchy decides who answers for a pack when several businesses touch it. For Manitoba, the dataset names the following roles for each packaging level.

<a id="producer-hierarchy"></a>**Who is the producer in Manitoba, by packaging level**

| Packaging level | Producer roles recorded |
| --- | --- |
| other packaging | brand owner, importer |
| primary (sales) packaging | brand owner, importer |
| secondary packaging | brand owner, importer |
| service packaging | brand owner, importer |
| shipping packaging | brand owner, importer |
| tertiary (transport) packaging | brand owner, importer |

<a id="producer-default"></a>In Manitoba, the party that carries the obligation by default is the brand owner and importer.

> Is your company a Brand Owner, First Importer or Franchisor?
>

<a id="transfer"></a>Whether the obligation can be transferred in Manitoba: not yet published. Reason: Transfer rules not read.

<a id="affiliates"></a>In Manitoba, revenue and tonnage of affiliated companies are counted together.

<a id="revenue-scope"></a>Where a revenue test applies in Manitoba, it is measured on revenue earned in the jurisdiction over given year, in CAD.

Roles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into Manitoba through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting.

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Thresholds that apply in Manitoba

Thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, whether it pays fees, or whether it can file a simplified report. Manitoba publishes 2 verified thresholds.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Thresholds recorded for Manitoba**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [revenue](#threshold-obligation_revenue) | CA$750,000.00 | the producer is exempt below it | Obligated only above CAD 750,000 gross Manitoba revenue |
| [packaging weight](#threshold-flat_fee_band) | below 5,000 kg | a flat-fee band applies |  |

<a id="threshold-obligation_revenue"></a>Manitoba sets a revenue threshold of CA$750,000.00; effect: the producer is exempt below it.

Basis of the revenue threshold: gross Manitoba revenue including affiliates and franchisees.

> had gross revenues of more than $750,000 from the combined sale of all its products and services in Manitoba

<a id="threshold-flat_fee_band"></a>Manitoba sets a packaging weight threshold of below 5,000 kg; effect: a flat-fee band applies.

Basis of the packaging weight threshold: A steward supplying under 5,000 kg a year may pay a flat fee instead of material fees, in two bands: 1,000 to 2,499 kg and 2,500 to 5,000 kg. The amounts are published each year and are on that year's fee schedule.

> eligible stewards (supplying less than 5,000 kg annually), can continue filing their detailed reports and paying material fee rates

<a id="exemptions"></a>

## Exemptions in Manitoba

An exemption removes or reduces a duty for a defined group. Manitoba lists 1 exemption in the dataset. Some apply automatically; others only apply if you ask the regulator for them, usually within a window.

<a id="exemption-below_revenue"></a>Exemption in Manitoba: Under CAD 750,000 gross Manitoba revenue, including affiliates and franchisees. It applies without a separate application.

> A Producer is “obligated” if it and/or its Affiliates and Franchisees had gross revenues of more than $750,000

## Registration and the system in Manitoba

Registration is where an obligation becomes visible to the regulator. The records below show whether Manitoba asks producers to register, with whom, and which organisation or scheme carries the collection and recycling system.

<a id="registration"></a>Producers in Manitoba must register with WeRecycle Portal.

Who registers: The obligated producer

<a id="categories"></a>The packaging taxonomy in Manitoba has 23 categories. Granularity: material category.

<a id="deadlines"></a>

## Deadlines in Manitoba

Manitoba records 3 deadlines, 3 of them verified. This page gives the summary; every date, the period it covers and what it requires are on the deadlines page for Manitoba.

Every verified date we hold for Manitoba falls on or before November 9, 2026, so none is still ahead. Check the regulator for the next one.

3 obligations recur on a fixed day each year rather than on a single date.

See every deadline for Manitoba, with its period and what it requires, on the Manitoba deadlines page.

A deadline is a date the regulator published, not a date we set. We can estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file; you sign and submit it in the regulator's own portal.

<a id="fees-reporting"></a>

## Fees and reporting in Manitoba

Manitoba publishes 3 fee schedules, for fee years 2025, 2026, and 2027. The schedule sets what each kind of packaging costs; the rates themselves are on the fee pages, not here.

- [Manitoba 2025 fees](https://instica.com/epr/manitoba/fees/2025): rates by material for fee year 2025.
- [Manitoba 2026 fees](https://instica.com/epr/manitoba/fees/2026): rates by material for fee year 2026.
- [Manitoba 2027 fees](https://instica.com/epr/manitoba/fees/2027): rates by material for fee year 2027.

The report you file is a defined file or form. Manitoba records 1 format; we prepare the file to that specification and you upload it yourself.

Recycle Manitoba annual report is a csv file submitted through WeRecycle Portal. The customer reviews, signs and submits it.

Columns, material mapping and the checks a file must pass are on the Manitoba report format page.

<a id="obligations"></a>

## Labelling, languages, targets and penalties in Manitoba

<a id="labelling"></a>Labelling in Manitoba: not yet published. Reason: On-pack labelling rules were not read for this jurisdiction.

<a id="languages"></a>Languages in Manitoba: not yet published. Reason: Portal language rules not read.

> **Not yet published**: Recycling and recovery targets for Manitoba: Not yet published. Reason: Targets were not read from the regulation.

> **Not yet published**: Penalties for Manitoba: Not yet published. Reason: Penalties were not read.

Labelling, language, target and penalty rules are the parts of a regime that are easiest to miss. A report filed in the wrong language or a pack without a required mark can cost as much as a late payment, so read each of these against your own products.

## Manitoba compared with nearby places

Rules do not stop at a border. A business that sells into Manitoba usually sells into its neighbours too, and the thresholds and deadlines differ. The table reads Manitoba against the places closest to it that have verified data.

## Manitoba read against each neighbour

Each paragraph reads Manitoba against one place from the table above, using only records verified for both. A part is left out when either side is not yet published.

Manitoba and [Ontario](#cmp-CA-ON-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Manitoba runs a single producer responsibility organisation, while Ontario runs [more than one producer responsibility organisation](#cmp-CA-ON-organisation). Registration is required in both. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$2,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-ON-threshold) in Ontario, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [Minnesota](#cmp-US-MN-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [1 short ton of tonnage](#cmp-US-MN-threshold) in Minnesota, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Manitoba and [Saskatchewan](#cmp-CA-SK-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [1,000 kg of packaging weight](#cmp-CA-SK-threshold) in Saskatchewan, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Manitoba and [British Columbia](#cmp-CA-BC-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-BC-threshold) in British Columbia, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [New Brunswick](#cmp-CA-NB-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$2,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-NB-threshold) in New Brunswick, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [Québec](#cmp-CA-QC-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [1 tonne of tonnage](#cmp-CA-QC-threshold) in Québec, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Manitoba and [Nova Scotia](#cmp-CA-NS-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-NS-threshold) in Nova Scotia, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [Yukon](#cmp-CA-YT-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$1,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-YT-threshold) in Yukon, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [Alberta](#cmp-CA-AB-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. The first threshold is CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba against [CA$1,500,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-CA-AB-threshold) in Alberta, so a seller can be in scope here and below the line next door. 

Manitoba and [United Kingdom](#cmp-GB-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Manitoba runs a single producer responsibility organisation, while United Kingdom runs [registered schemes that producers join](#cmp-GB-organisation). Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [25 tonnes of tonnage](#cmp-GB-threshold) in United Kingdom, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Manitoba and [Oregon](#cmp-US-OR-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Both run a single producer responsibility organisation. Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [$5,000,000.00 of revenue](#cmp-US-OR-threshold) in Oregon, so the figures cannot be compared directly. 

Manitoba and [Belgium](#cmp-BE-obligated) both record an obligation for packaging producers. Manitoba runs a single producer responsibility organisation, while Belgium runs [more than one producer responsibility organisation](#cmp-BE-organisation). Registration is required in both. The first thresholds are measured differently: CA$750,000.00 of revenue in Manitoba and [300 tonnes of single-use packaging per year of tonnage](#cmp-BE-threshold) in Belgium, so the figures cannot be compared directly.

## What to prepare for Manitoba

1. Work out whether you are the producer for each product you sell in Manitoba, using the producer roles above.
2. Compare your Manitoba revenue and packaging weight with each threshold in the table; keep the working.
3. Register with WeRecycle Portal before you report or pay.
4. Put every dated deadline above in your calendar, with the period it covers.
5. Collect packaging weights by material so the report file can be prepared to the format above.
6. Sign and submit your filings yourself in the regulator's portal; Instica never stores portal credentials and never files for you.

Instica measures packaging, estimates what you may owe and prepares the report file. It does not decide whether you are obliged; that stays with you and the regulator.

<a id="method"></a>

## How to read this page

Every statement on this page is generated from a verified record, and each record keeps its source address, the date we retrieved it, and, where the source is a statute or notice, the quoted text. A value marked "not yet published" has no verified source yet; we show the reason instead of a number.

Quotes are shown in the language of the source with a labelled summary in English. The summary helps you read; the quote is what the source says. If the two ever differ, the quote governs.

Manitoba has 8 of 15 core fields verified. The remaining 7 are listed in the overview. When one of them is published, the page changes and the "last verified" date moves; until then, the safest assumption is that the answer is unknown, not that it is no.

<a id="gaps"></a>

## What is still open for Manitoba

Manitoba has 7 of 15 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below.

- **The regulator**: Reason recorded: Regulator naming from program pages.
- **Who the rules apply to**: Reason recorded: Distance-seller clause summarised.
- **Transfer of the obligation**: Reason recorded: Transfer rules not read.
- **Labelling**: Reason recorded: On-pack labelling rules were not read for this jurisdiction.
- **Targets**: Reason recorded: Targets were not read from the regulation.
- **Penalties**: Reason recorded: Penalties were not read.
- **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: Portal language rules not read.

<a id="gaps-meaning"></a>

## What an open field means in practice

A field is marked not yet published when no primary source we can cite says what it needs to say. Below, each open field for Manitoba is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.

- **The regulator**: Without a named regulator we cannot point you to a portal or a contact; the national or state environment authority is the usual starting point.
- **Who the rules apply to**: Who the rules apply to decides whether small, foreign or online sellers are in scope; until it is published, assume nothing in either direction.
- **Transfer of the obligation**: Transfer rules say whether you can hand the duty to a distributor or a service provider; until they are published, assume the duty stays with you.
- **Labelling**: Labelling rules decide whether a pack needs a mark or a sorting instruction; check pack artwork before printing a large run.
- **Targets**: Targets show how fast the rules are expected to tighten, which helps you plan for higher fees later.
- **Penalties**: Without published penalties you cannot size the risk of a late or missing filing; assume an unpublished penalty is not a small one.
- **Filing languages**: The filing language decides whether you need a translation of your report; confirm before you prepare the file.

We re-check open fields when a source changes and when a reviewer flags one. If you hold a primary source that answers an open field for Manitoba, the data-gaps page explains how to send it; we publish a field only after we can cite the source and its date.

Because Manitoba records a packaging EPR obligation, each of the following sellers should expect to do some work. What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.

#### A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods

You are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into Manitoba by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.

#### An importer or reseller of branded goods

Importers are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.

#### A seller that ships through an online marketplace

Some regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for Manitoba; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.

#### A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year

Compare your figures with the 2 verified thresholds above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief.

## Common mistakes with Manitoba packaging EPR

Most problems with packaging EPR do not come from the rule itself; they come from a few repeated slips. These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for Manitoba.

- Treating "not yet published" as "no". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.
- Using another place's threshold. Manitoba sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.
- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.
- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.
- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.
- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.

The records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser.

## Questions about packaging EPR in Manitoba

### <a id="faq-obliged"></a>Do I need to take part in packaging EPR in Manitoba?

Manitoba records a packaging EPR obligation for producers, with thresholds that decide who is in scope; compare your figures with the thresholds table. Whether you are the producer depends on the roles listed for each packaging level.

### <a id="faq-who"></a>Who is the regulator in Manitoba?

No regulator is verified for Manitoba yet.

### <a id="faq-threshold"></a>Is there a small-business threshold in Manitoba?

Manitoba records 2 verified thresholds; see the table above for the amounts and what each one changes.

### <a id="faq-deadline"></a>When are filings due in Manitoba?

Manitoba records 3 verified deadlines; they are listed with the period each covers.

### <a id="faq-register"></a>Do I have to register in Manitoba?

Yes, the dataset records that registration is required in Manitoba.

### <a id="faq-submit"></a>Does Instica file my report?

No. We measure your packaging, estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file. You review it, sign it and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores regulator-portal credentials.

### <a id="faq-source"></a>How do I know the data is current?

Each record shows the source address and the date we retrieved it. This page was last verified on November 4, 2026.

### <a id="faq-legal"></a>Can I rely on this page for a decision?

It summarizes published sources to help you prepare. For a decision that carries real risk, ask the regulator or a qualified adviser.

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

> **Estimate**: Figures here are estimates prepared from published sources, not a ruling. You review, sign and submit your own filings; Instica does not store regulator-portal credentials and does not submit for you.
