EPR Registration for Plastic Waste
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registration is a legal compliance process that mandates businesses producing or handling plastic packaging to manage their plastic waste. Under EPR, producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) must ensure proper collection, recycling, or disposal of plastic waste to minimize environmental impact.
To obtain EPR registration, businesses must apply through the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or relevant State Pollution Control Boards. The process involves providing details of plastic usage, recycling plans, and waste management strategies.
