*New – 2018 Schedule of Contributions*
Broadening of the classes of materials subject to a fee
In an effort to broaden materials subject to a fee in order to include more materials covered by the net costs paid to municipalities, short-life containers and packaging sold as products and printed matter sold as products (CP&PM products) must be reported.
CP&PM products may be grouped into different classes. The classes are not limited: they are only provided to facilitate the identification of the CP&PM products included in the broadening. Click here for examples.
