## What the schedule covers

Circular Materials Nova Scotia sets the packaging fees for Nova Scotia in 2026. It applies from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, and every rate is stated in Canadian cents per kilogram, in CAD.

The schedule lists 33 categories. Every category carries a published rate.

Instica read the schedule from the publisher's own document and last retrieved it on October 22, 2026. Rates keep the precision with which they were published. Where the publisher quotes a different weight unit, the tables add a per-tonne column, converted exactly, so schedules can be set side by side.

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

## Who pays and when

The fee schedule is only half of the picture. Whether a producer pays it, and by when, depends on the rules of Nova Scotia. This section reads them from Instica's verified record of the jurisdiction.

The regime is: Environmental Goals and Climate Change Reduction Act, Part IX (packaging and paper EPR regulations). The regulator is Resource Recovery Fund Board (Divert NS), as Administrator.

#### Thresholds

2 thresholds decide whether a producer must register, pay or report, or may use a simpler route. Each row gives the measure, the amount and what happens at it.

<a id="thresholds"></a>**Thresholds in Nova Scotia**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Revenue | [1,000,000 CAD](#threshold-small-producer-revenue) | Exempt below | gross Nova Scotia revenue |
| Tonnage supplied | [1 tonne](#threshold-small-producer-tonnage) | Exempt below | designated material supplied in the Province |

#### Exemptions

1 exemption exists. The last column says whether the producer has to apply for it or whether it applies automatically.

<a id="exemptions"></a>**Exemptions in Nova Scotia**

| Exemption | Description | Application needed |
| --- | --- | :---: |
| `small producer` | Small producers and societies (except educational) are exempt | No |

#### Who runs the scheme

Nova Scotia uses a single producer responsibility organisation: Circular Materials. Membership is not required.

#### Dates

4 dates fall in this regime. Dates that the source has not published yet are shown as not yet published.

## Data period and invoice timing

The 2026 schedule for Nova Scotia is effective from January 1, 2026 until December 31, 2026. The publisher does not state a separate data period, so use the supply of the fee year.

Rates are in CAD. A rate changes only when the publisher issues a new schedule, so a figure on this page stays valid for the year shown and is not adjusted for inflation or exchange rates by Instica.

The scheme sends the invoice. When an invoice and this page differ, the invoice is what you owe; use the page to check the rate per category and to estimate the fee before the invoice arrives.

## How to read this schedule

Every row of the Nova Scotia 2026 schedule is a price for one category of packaging. The unit is Canadian cents per kilogram: the rate is what the scheme charges for each unit of that category that a producer places on the market. Instica shows the figure exactly as Circular Materials Nova Scotia publishes it, with its source and the date Instica read it.

The source states these rates in Canadian cents, so one hundred of them make one whole unit of CAD. Instica does not round or restate a published figure. For comparison only, Instica also shows each rate as CAD per tonne. That column is arithmetic on the published figure with exact unit factors; the schedule itself is in Canadian cents per kilogram, and the scheme's own invoice decides what is charged.

Match a category by the scheme's own classification, not by how you describe the product. A bottle and its closure can fall into two rows, and the same material can sit in different rows depending on what it is used for. The code in the first column is the scheme's code, and the material column shows the material the source assigns to it.

All 33 rows of this schedule carry a published rate.

#### Estimating with this schedule

1. Weigh each packaging component on its own and note its material.
2. Find the category row that matches the component under the scheme's classification.
3. Convert your weight to the unit of the row, Canadian cents per kilogram, or compare in the per-tonne column when you only need a ranking.
4. Multiply the weight by the rate. Instica keeps the rate, the weight and the source together so the estimate can be checked.
5. Add the flat fees or other fees the schedule lists, if they apply to you.
6. Review the total, then sign and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal.

<a id="invoice-check"></a>

## Checking an invoice against this schedule

An invoice from Circular Materials Nova Scotia for 2026 should be explainable from three things: the weights you reported, the category each weight was placed in and the rate of that category. When an invoice does not match your estimate, check these in this order.

First, the unit. A rate in Canadian cents per kilogram applied to a weight in another unit gives a result that is wrong by a constant factor. Second, the category: a different row can differ by a large amount for the same weight. Third, the period: this page covers the 2026 schedule, and a producer whose reporting period straddles two years may be charged under both.

Instica does not know your contract. Taxes, rebates, minimum charges or membership fees may sit outside the schedule on this page, in CAD or another currency. The schedule is a published reference; the scheme's invoice decides what you owe, and a query about an invoice belongs with the scheme.

## Terms used on this page

- **Producer**: The business that places packaged goods on the market and is therefore responsible for the packaging, under the rules of the jurisdiction.
- **Scheme or organisation**: The body that collects fees from producers and pays for collection and recycling. A jurisdiction may have one, several or none.
- **Fee schedule**: A published table of rates per category of packaging, with the unit, the currency and the period it covers.
- **Category**: The class of packaging a rate applies to, as the scheme defines it. Categories are usually based on material, sometimes on use.
- **Estimate**: A figure Instica prepares from your weights and a rate. It is not an invoice and not a filing; the scheme decides what is charged.
- **Not yet published**: A value the source has not released or that Instica has not been able to read and verify. It is shown with its reason and is never replaced by a guess.

## Questions and answers

### <a id="faq-1"></a>What is the Nova Scotia packaging fee schedule for 2026?

It is the list of rates that Circular Materials Nova Scotia charges producers in Nova Scotia for packaging placed on the market in 2026. This page reproduces 33 categories with the rate the publisher states, in Canadian cents per kilogram, and links every figure to its source document.

### <a id="faq-2"></a>Which unit are the 2026 rates in?

They are published in Canadian cents per kilogram, in CAD. Instica shows every rate in that unit with the precision of the source. The tables also give CAD per tonne, converted exactly, so schedules that quote pounds or kilograms can be compared.

### <a id="faq-3"></a>Which category is the most expensive in Nova Scotia?

In the 2026 schedule the highest published rate is 462 for Expanded Polystyrene and the lowest is 51 for Coloured Glass, both in Canadian cents per kilogram. The extremes table above lists the five highest and five lowest categories.

### <a id="faq-4"></a>Can the rates change during the year?

A published schedule changes only when the publisher issues a new version. Instica retrieved this one on October 22, 2026. If the publisher revises it, the page is rebuilt from the new source and the retrieval date moves.

### <a id="faq-5"></a>Who files the report and pays the fee?

The producer does. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures; you check them, sign and submit them yourself in the scheme's own portal. Instica does not file for you and does not store portal credentials.

### <a id="faq-6"></a>Can I use this page to budget my fee?

Yes, as an estimate. Find your category in the rates table, multiply the rate by your weight in the same unit, and compare the result with the worked costs. The scheme's invoice decides what you owe.

### <a id="faq-7"></a>How current are these figures?

Instica retrieved the schedule on October 22, 2026. The page shows the retrieval date, the publisher and a short quote from the source next to each rate, so you can check a figure against the original before you rely on it.

<a id="use"></a>

## How Instica uses this schedule

When you add packaging for Nova Scotia, Instica looks up the category in this 2026 schedule, multiplies the rate by the weight you measured and shows the estimated fee with the rate, the source and the data-quality tier of the weight.

Instica measures, estimates and prepares. You review the figures, sign the report and submit it yourself in the scheme's portal. Instica does not submit for you and never stores portal credentials.

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

> **Estimate**: Figures on this page are estimates that Instica prepares from published sources. You review them, sign them and submit them yourself. Instica does not file on your behalf, does not store regulator-portal credentials, and does not interpret the law for you.
