How are EPR fees calculated?
Packaging EPR fees are calculated per kilogram: each material has its own rate, and you multiply that rate by the annual weight you place on a market. Rates vary widely by material and recyclability. In France's Citeo tariff, steel is charged at about 0.06 EUR per kilogram while rigid PVC is about 2.10 EUR per kilogram. The calculator above applies the exact published rate for the scheme and material you choose, then adds your materials into one yearly total.
