The unit is CAD per tonne: 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 Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ) publishes it, with its source and the date Instica read it.\n\nFor 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 CAD per tonne, and the scheme's own invoice decides what is charged.\n\nMatch 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.\n\nThe schedule also carries flat fees by band. A flat fee is charged by band, not per unit of weight, so it must be read apart from the per-unit rates and is not part of the rate table.\n\nAll 21 rows of this schedule carry a published rate.\n\n#### Estimating with this schedule\n\n1. Weigh each packaging component on its own and note its material.\n2. Find the category row that matches the component under the scheme's classification.\n3. Convert your weight to the unit of the row, CAD per tonne, or compare in the per-tonne column when you only need a ranking.\n4. Multiply the weight by the rate. Instica keeps the rate, the weight and the source together so the estimate can be checked.\n5. Add the flat fees or other fees the schedule lists, if they apply to you.\n6.

This page reproduces 21 categories with the rate the publisher states, in CAD per tonne, and links every figure to its source document.\n\n### Which unit are the 2026 rates in?\n\nThey are published in CAD per tonne, 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.\n\n### Which category is the most expensive in Québec?\n\nIn the 2026 schedule the highest published rate is 3,391.42 for Polystyrenes, PVC, PLA and other degradable plastics and synthetic-fibre reusable bags and the lowest is 444.57 for Aluminum, both in CAD per tonne. The extremes table above lists the five highest and five lowest categories.\n\n### Is there a flat fee for small producers?\n\nThe schedule lists flat-fee bands. A producer whose supply falls inside a band and who meets its eligibility text may pay the flat fee shown instead of the weight-based rates. Check the eligibility column against your own figures, and ask the scheme if you are unsure.\n\n### Can the rates change during the year?\n\nA 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.\n\n### Who files the report and pays the fee?\n\nThe 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.\n\n### Can I use this page to budget my fee?\n\nYes, 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.\n\n### How current are these figures?\n\nInstica 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." }, { "id": "use", "heading": "How Instica uses this schedule", "kind": "boilerplate", "markdown": "\n\n## How Instica uses this schedule\n\nWhen you add packaging for Québec, 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.\n\nInstica measures, estimates and prepares.
