EPR Authorization

EPR Authorization

EPR means Extended Producer Responsibility, which includes an environmental and economical approach to preventing, cleaning up and recycling plastic and E-waste. As per the Waste Management Rules in India, the manufacturer, importer, producer and brand owners are held responsible for controlling Plastic and E-waste after the expiry of the product’s life cycle. For this, these entities need to obtain EPR Authorisation for e-waste/plastic waste management in India. EPR Authorisation is granted by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Control of the Government of India. It assigns the responsibility of environmentally sound disposal or recycling of plastic and E-waste on the EPR holder. So, the Producer, Importer, brand owners, and manufacturer can apply for the EPR license in India. EPR certification is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of E-waste in India. The E-waste certification is required for the Indian and foreign manufacturers or the importers of electoral and electronic equipment under the EPR Authorization.
