Revised Guidelines for Environmental Compensation on Plastic Waste Management Violations

Recent updates to the Environmental Compensation (EC) structure for violations of the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, have brought changes to the rates for different categories. Here’s a quick overview:

– Cat 1: ₹2900 per metric ton (MT)

– Cat 2: ₹5000 per MT

– Cat 3: ₹7900 per MT

– Cat 4: ₹7900 per MT

The EC has introduced new rules for different categories, stipulating a minimum price for EPR credit, set at 30% of the EPR charges. The implication of this revision is that while Category 1 will see a decrease in rates, Categories 3 and 4 will experience an increase.
