FEPRA EPR · Fees and calculator
What does responsibility transfer cost you in 2026?
Enter the annual quantities of packaging you place on the market, by material, and see on the spot the annual cost of transferring your responsibility to FEPRA EPR. Alongside, as a benchmark, the 2 lei/kg contribution you would owe to the Environmental Fund for the quantity not recycled. Paying AFM does not fulfil the legal obligation: it is just the bill for what you did not recycle.

Your annual quantities
Fill in what you place on the market
Municipal waste: primary packaging, which reaches the consumer together with the product.
Industrial/commercial waste: secondary and tertiary packaging, which stays with companies (multipacks, films, pallets).
- The overall target for 2026 is 70% of the total quantity of packaging placed on the market.
- The fees are those valid in 2026, without VAT, and stay the same until December.
- Paying AFM is NOT a way of complying: the law requires you to recycle, and the contribution is a penalty for the part of the target you do not prove recycled.

Frequently asked questions
About fees and the calculation
Do the fees include VAT?
No. All fees are without VAT, shown in lei per kilogram or per tonne of packaging placed on the market, depending on the unit you choose. The calculator shows the estimated annual cost without VAT.
What do municipal waste and industrial/commercial waste mean?
Municipal waste comes from primary packaging: what reaches the consumer together with the product (the juice bottle, the cereal box, the parcel). Industrial/commercial waste comes from secondary and tertiary packaging, which stays with companies: multipacks, pallet wrap, pallets, transport boxes. If you have both, fill in both columns. The definitions of the three packaging types, with examples, are on the How it works page.
Why does the AFM contribution not apply to the whole quantity?
The law requires you to recycle a share of each material (for example 75% for paper and cardboard; for plastic, 65% for PET and 50% of total plastic) and, overall, at least 70% of everything you place on the market, the overall recycling and recovery objective. The 2 lei/kg contribution is owed for the difference between this objective and what you prove recycled. Paying it does not mean you have met your obligation: it is the consequence of not meeting it. With a PRO, the fee applies to the whole quantity placed on the market, but it is several times lower per kilogram.
