What is EPR of Plastic?

The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy, which holds Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners accountable for the introduction of plastic into the environment or any resulting pollution caused by plastic.

EPR Registration is mandatory for producers of certain products, such as plastic packaging, under the guidelines set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in India. EPR registration ensures compliance with these regulations, and requires producers to establish systems for the collection, transportation, and disposal of end-of-life products.

EPR Compliance involves meeting the specified targets for waste collection, recycling, and disposal. Producers must submit annual reports on their EPR implementation, and failure to comply with the CPCB’s EPR guidelines can result in penalties and legal action.

EPR Target Fulfillment requires Producers, Importers, Brand Owners (PIBOs) to purchase EPR Plastic credits from EPR registered Recyclers, Co- Processors (PWPs) . The CPCB’s EPR guidelines specify the responsibilities of various stakeholders, including PIBOs & PWPs and local authorities. By fulfilling EPR targets, PIBOs can demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability, improve their environmental performance, and reduce their liability for any environmental damage caused by their products.
