Plastic - rigid Oregon EPR how much: 2027, rate, rank and the same material elsewhere
Last verified
The 2027 Oregon schedule prices 27 Plastic - Rigid categories in US cents per pound. Rates run from -4.0 for HDPE (#2) - Bottles, Jugs and Jars (Clear/Natural) to 74.0 for PS (#6) Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning. Instica reads each rate from the publisher's schedule and shows it with its source, its rank and a worked cost.
Plastic - Rigid categories and their rates
Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) sets the 2027 packaging fees for Oregon. In that schedule Plastic - Rigid is a group of 27 categories, and the schedule has 8 other material groups. Every rate below is stated in US cents per pound, in USD, exactly as the publisher gives it; Instica last retrieved the schedule on October 22, 2026.
The last column converts each published rate to USD per tonne. The conversion is exact arithmetic (1 tonne is 1,000 kg; 1 lb is 0.45359237 kg) and only exists so that rows and schedules in different weight units can be compared. The rate in the unit of the source is the one that applies.
Every category in this group carries a published rate.

Across the 27 priced categories the lowest rate is -88.18 and the highest is 1,631.42 USD per tonne, a spread of 1,719.61. The unweighted mean is 776.52 USD per tonne. The mean treats every category alike and ignores how many tonnes each one carries, so it describes the schedule, not a typical producer's bill.
Instica computes the mean rate of the material group Plastic - Rigid for Oregon 2027 as 776.52 USD per tonne (unweighted over 27 categories), from verified rates.
The table sums up the 27 priced categories of Plastic - Rigid in five measures. The lowest and highest rates are published figures; the mean, median, spread and multiple are computed by Instica from them and are labelled as calculated facts. They describe the schedule and not any one producer's bill.

The table lists the groups around that position. A rank only compares groups inside one schedule, where the unit and currency are the same. 6 / 9
Plastic - Rigid in other jurisdictions
Rates can only be compared in the same currency, so this section sets Oregon against the 1 other jurisdiction in Instica's data that publish a convertible schedule in USD. No exchange rate is applied. Because schedules name their groups differently, the comparison uses the Instica material class "Plastic", which collects every group of that kind.
| Rank | Jurisdiction | Schedule | Class mean (USD per tonne) | Against this page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Colorado | 2027 | 1,373.48 | 66.5 % |
| 2 | Oregon | 2027 | 825.16 | this page |
The plastic class mean in Oregon is 825.16 USD per tonne, which ranks 2nd of 2 (1 is the highest); the median of the other jurisdictions is 1,373.48. The class is an aid for orientation. It is not a regulatory category, and the group on this page may be narrower than the class. 2 / 2
Plastic - Rigid rate history
Instica holds 2 schedules for Oregon that price Plastic - Rigid. The mean rate moved from 1,330.12 in the earliest to 776.52 USD per tonne in the latest. Each year is the mean of the priced categories in that year's schedule, so a year with a different set of categories can shift the mean without any rate changing.
| Schedule | Year | Categories | Mean (USD per tonne) | Change on the one before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) | 2026 | 27 | 1,330.12 | first schedule |
| Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) | 2027 | 27 | 776.52 | -41.6 % |
Every Plastic - Rigid category across the years
Oregon publishes more than one schedule in Instica's data. For every priced category of this group that appears in more than one of them, the table gives the published rate of each schedule year in its own unit, and the change from the schedule before it where the unit is the same, and the change against the schedule this page covers. A category that was added or renamed between schedules has no earlier row.

Plastic - Rigid in everyday words
Schedules name packaging in the scheme's own terms, which are not the words a producer uses. The table below matches the plastic class to the plain-language names Instica uses in its category picker, taken from the CalRecycle 2026-01-01 category list, with the recycling rate that list gives.
31 categories of this class are shown. A match here is a pointer toward the right row of the fee schedule, not a classification: the scheme decides which of its categories a pack belongs to.

What 1,000 units of Plastic - Rigid packaging cost
The table prices 1,000 units of a typical pack that contains plastic - rigid, using Instica's packaging templates. The material in the pack is weighed in grams, converted to tonnes, and multiplied by the Oregon 2027 group mean of 776.52 USD per tonne. Other components of the pack are not priced here.
The fee at different weights
The fee is proportional to weight, so the table scales the group mean of 776.52 USD per tonne to a range of weights. It is arithmetic, not a quote: your own categories and their rates replace the mean in a real estimate.
Lower-priced material groups in this schedule
3 material groups in the Oregon 2027 schedule have a lower mean rate than Plastic - Rigid. The table shows them with the difference from this group. A lower rate is only one input: function, shelf life, protection of the product and what the local system can recycle decide whether a switch is possible.
| Material group | Class | Mean (USD per tonne) | Compared with this group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Printing and Writing Paper | Paper and card | 22.05 | -97.2 % |
| Paper/Fiber | Paper and card | 310.85 | -60.0 % |
| Metal | Other metal | 448.27 | -42.3 % |
Instica reports the published rates. It does not advise a producer to change material.
Recyclability grade under the EU packaging regulation
The EU packaging and packaging waste regulation (PPWR) sets recyclability performance grades for packaging placed on the EU market. Oregon is outside the EU, so the regulation does not set this schedule.
Instica lists the grade here only for producers who also sell into the EU. Grades are not yet published in the data, and Instica shows none.
How to use this page
A rate is the price of one unit of packaging in one category. For Plastic - Rigid in Oregon, the unit is US cents per pound: multiply the weight of your plastic - rigid packaging, in that unit, by the rate of the category it falls under. The categories of this group are in the first table, with the code Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) uses for them.
Choose the category by what the packaging is and how it is used, as the scheme defines it, not by the material alone. The 27 categories of this group differ in format, in use or in the way the scheme modulates the fee, which is why their rates differ.
Use the converted column only to compare. When you estimate a fee, work in the unit of the source so that a rounding or conversion step cannot enter the result. The USD figures are not adjusted for inflation or exchange rates; a rate changes only when the publisher issues a new schedule.
A page like this one answers a narrow question: what does this schedule charge for one kind of packaging material? It cannot tell you which category your product falls into, because that depends on the pack, the way it is sold and the definitions of the scheme. For that, read the scheme's own guidance, which the source links point to, or ask the scheme.
The mean, the rank and the comparison with other jurisdictions are computed by Instica from the published rates and are labelled as calculated facts. The rates themselves are the publisher's.

Questions and answers
What is the EPR fee for plastic - rigid packaging in Oregon?
For 2027 the schedule of Circular Action Alliance (Oregon PRO) prices 27 plastic - rigid categories, from -4.0 for HDPE (#2) - Bottles, Jugs and Jars (Clear/Natural) to 74.0 for PS (#6) Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning, in US cents per pound. The fee for your packaging is the rate of its category multiplied by its weight in the same unit.
Which unit is the plastic - rigid rate in?
US cents per pound, in USD, as published. Instica keeps the figure in that unit with the precision of the source. The tables add USD per tonne, converted exactly, for comparison only.
Is plastic - rigid expensive compared with other materials in Oregon?
In the 2027 schedule Plastic - Rigid ranks 6th of 9 material groups by mean rate (1 is the highest). The mean is 776.52 US cents per pound. See the ranking section for the groups around it.
How does Oregon compare with other jurisdictions for plastic - rigid?
Only schedules in the same currency can be compared, because Instica applies no exchange rate. The section on other jurisdictions ranks the plastic class mean among every jurisdiction priced in USD, and says when there is no other one.
Can the rate change during the year?
A published schedule changes when the publisher issues a new version. Instica retrieved this one on October 22, 2026. If it is revised, the page is rebuilt from the new source and the retrieval date changes.
How has the plastic - rigid rate changed over the years?
The rate history section lists the mean plastic - rigid rate of each schedule Instica holds for Oregon, with the change from one to the next.
Is there a cheaper material in Oregon?
3 material groups have a lower mean rate in the same schedule; the table of lower-priced groups shows them. The rate is one input only, and Instica does not advise a change of material.
Who files the report and pays the fee?
The producer does. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures; you review them, sign and submit them yourself in the scheme's own portal. Instica does not file for you and does not store portal credentials.
Can I use this page to budget?
Yes, as an estimate. Find your category in the rates table, multiply its rate by your weight in the same unit and compare the result with the worked cost. The scheme's invoice decides what you owe.
What is EPR in plastic recycling?
EPR means extended producer responsibility: producers pay towards the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. Here the term is read through the published data for Plastic - Rigid Oregon 2027. The highest published rate is PS (#6) Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning at 74.0 US cents per pound.
What is the current recycling rate in Oregon?
The figures that answer this are the published rates on this page, not an estimate of any one producer's bill. The highest published rate is PS (#6) Colored Expanded/Foamed Cushioning at 74.0 US cents per pound.
What is the EPR fee for packaging in Oregon?
The figures that answer this are the published rates on this page, not an estimate of any one producer's bill. The lowest published rate is HDPE (#2) - Bottles, Jugs and Jars (Clear/Natural) at -4.0 US cents per pound.
How much do you get for recycling cans in Oregon?
The figures that answer this are the published rates on this page, not an estimate of any one producer's bill. Instica calculates the unweighted mean of those rates as 776.52 US cents per pound.
How Instica uses these rates
When you add plastic - rigid packaging for Oregon, Instica looks up the category in this 2027 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.
The figures on this page come from the same data as the rest of Instica, so an estimate you prepare in the app and the numbers you read here cannot disagree. If a rate on this page is later revised by the publisher, the page and the estimate are both rebuilt from the new source, and the retrieval date shown above changes with them.
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.
