PRO PRICE COMPARISON
Published per-kilogram rates from every comparable Portugal scheme in one view – same material, same published scope, each figure linked to its source.
In Portugal, the PRO you register with changes the bill. For cork (urban or municipal packaging), Electrao charges 0.084 EUR per kilogram while Novo Verde charges 0.53 EUR – 532% more for the same category. Gramta compares 14 like-for-like material rates across 3 schemes, reviewed 11 Aug 2026.
The largest like-for-like gaps in the current dataset – same material family, same published scope, and one scheme cheaper on every published tier.
Each row is one material family in one published scope – scopes are never mixed. Where a scheme prices several tiers of the same family (colour, recyclability, format), the cell shows its range; expand the row to see every underlying sourced line. An empty cell means that scheme publishes no comparable rate there.

“Lowest” marks the scheme that is cheaper on every published tier of that category, at the precision shown. Ties and mixed results get no marker.
All Portugal rates and calculatorAll EU PRO comparisons and how to choose
Add the materials you place on the market and a yearly weight for each. Gramta multiplies every scheme's current published rate, so you see the yearly difference in real money – not per-kilogram abstractions.
Add a material and a yearly weight to see each scheme's total.
Minimum, membership and base fees apply on top of (or instead of) per-kilogram rates, and they are comparable across every scheme regardless of tariff structure. Terms differ – some are annual, some one-off – so check each source.
| PRO or scheme | Minimum and base fees |
|---|---|
| SPV | 120 EUR per year |
| SDR Portugal | 50 EUR using the source-defined unit |
No published minimum or base fee in the current dataset for: Electrao, Novo Verde, Valorfito, Valormed.
A focused two-column comparison for each pair of Portugal schemes.
These Portugal schemes are in the dataset but can't sit in a per-kilogram comparison without misleading you. Every one of their published lines is on the Portugal fee page with its source.
Publishes no current public rates – pricing is by quote or contract.
Official name: VALORFITO / SIGERU
Publishes rates, but none are standalone per-kilogram material rates.
Official name: VALORMED
Prices per sales unit, package or transaction rather than per kilogram, so its rates can't sit in a per-kg row.
The comparison above is one country, one year, per-kilogram rates only. Filing for real means classifying every product's packaging, applying minimums and modulation, and repeating it for every country you sell into – every year.
Send us your sales and your packaging details once. Gramta works out the fees for every country you sell in and keeps each report up to date and ready to file.
Get started with GramtaNo scheme is cheapest for every material, so it depends on your mix. Across 14 directly comparable categories, the lowest rate moves between schemes: Electrao lowest in 8, Novo Verde lowest in 3, SPV lowest in 2. Check the rows above against your own packaging, then the minimum fees – a low per-kilogram rate can be outweighed by a higher minimum.
Usually you can choose, but not on the per-kilogram rate alone. Schemes differ in packaging scopes, minimum and membership fees, eco-modulation tiers and contract terms, and some only accept certain packaging streams. Use the comparison to shortlist, then confirm scope and total cost against the scheme's own tariff – every rate here links to it.
Every rate is a published tariff line from the scheme itself, held in Gramta's sourced fee dataset with its effective period and review date (11 Aug 2026 for this page). Nothing is averaged or estimated: identical material families in identical published scopes are placed side by side, and anything not like-for-like is excluded and explained above.
