As part of New Brunswick’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Beverage Containers Program, Encorp sets a container recycling fee (CRF) on container material types as needed specific to the net costs associated with managing each material type. As a non-profit organization, Encorp regularly reviews the expenses and revenues associated with each container material type to ensure fees remain appropriate. CRF rates are updated annually, with new rates coming into effect on April 1. Encorp may also adjust CRF rates at other times in response to unexpected financial circumstances. Any rate changes are announced at least 90 days prior to their effective date.
Please note that the CRF rates in effect as of April 1, 2026, will remain unchanged from the current rates – no decrease or increase in CRF rates is planned.
Additional details on CRFs – and on all aspects of the EPR Beverage Containers Program in New Brunswick – can be found on our website.
