Fee Schedule to help with your report

Look over our fee Schedule to better prepare your report of the containers, packaging, and printed paper you have marketed and to support your bonus and credit claims.

Did you know?

  • In 2026, producer financial participation (PFP) will completely replace the Schedule of Contributions.
  • Special PFPs are in force for the 2023 and 2024 reports.
  • The 2025 Schedule of Contributions will be the last one issued. An annual PFP for 2025 also applies. Exceptionally, the two schedules will overlap in 2025.
  • If your business markets less than 15 metric tons (MT) of containers, packaging, or printed matter, you can benefit from easy-to-apply rates based on your annual revenue and the total volume of materials marketed.
  • You may also qualify for a payment waiver if you meet certain criteria.
