What is EPR?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy.
The responsibilities of PIBO’s [Producer, Importers & Brand-owners] has been extended to retrieve the plastics which they have pumped into the Indian market along with their product, in the form of plastics or plastic packaging.
Our primary goal is to establish an efficient and seamless EPR system that manages the collection, segragation, and transportation of materials to an authorized waste disposal facility with the approval of CPCB.
Salient feature of EPR
- Waste Management Agencies (WMAs), like us, will take charge of the entire process on behalf of the PIBOs.
- PWPs to recycle / incinerate the plastic waste.
- PIBO’s will finance EPR scheme.
- ULBs will facilitate, monitor and certify the transaction.
What is the compliance aspect in it?
- PIBOs and PWPs must register through the CPCB’s online portal.
- CPCB requires every PIBO to submit an EPR action plan containing the type and quantity of plastic waste procured, generated and sold (zone by zone).
- Implementation is carried out through collection, transportation, recycling, co-processing and disposal of equivalent quantity of plastic waste as per the approved EPR plan.
- The plan can be executed through own distribution channel, in partnership with ULBs / Municipalities, through agencies / WMAs or any other method that ensures traceability.
