Apply for EPR Certificate for Extended Producer Responsibility

The EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) Certificate is a critical compliance requirement for producers and importers of products like electrical and electronic goods, batteries, and other items that generate waste. EPR Registration Certificate is mandatory for Plastic Waste, E-waste, and Battery Waste. This certificate ensures that manufacturers take responsibility for the collection, recycling, and disposal of their products at the end of their life cycle. Under the E-Waste Management Rules, Plastic Waste Management Rules, and other environmental guidelines, producers must comply with EPR regulations to ensure sustainable waste management. Obtaining an EPR certificate is mandatory for businesses to continue their operations legally in India and avoid penalties for non-compliance. This certification helps businesses contribute to the environmental sustainability of the country by promoting the reuse, recycling, and reduction of waste. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) monitors compliance with EPR rules, especially for plastic waste, e-waste, and battery waste.

Steps to Apply for an EPR Certificate:

Registration with the CPCB – Producers must first register on the CPCB portal or with the respective State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB).

Submit Documents – Provide the required documentation, such as the product’s recycling plan, details of recycling units, and more.

Develop a Waste Management Plan – The plan should outline how waste will be collected, segregated, recycled, and disposed of.

Inspection & Approval – The authorities will review the submitted documents and conduct an inspection, if necessary.

Issuance of EPR Certificate – Once approved, the EPR certificate is issued, allowing the producer to legally market their products.
