EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) registration is a certification process under the PWM Rules. It holds producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) accountable for environmentally sound plastic waste management. EPR mandates these businesses to collect and process plastic waste to prevent environmental harm, thus promoting sustainable waste management practices. By obtaining EPR registration, businesses commit to ethical disposal, recycling, and plastic waste reduction.
The PWM Rules categorize plastic packaging into four main types to ensure that various forms of plastic waste are systematically managed.
Category I: - Rigid Plastic Packaging (e.g., bottles, containers)
Category II:- : Flexible Plastic Packaging (e.g., bags, wrappers)
Category III: - Multi-layered Plastic Packaging (non-recyclable packaging with multiple materials)
Category IV: - Compostable Plastic Packaging (biodegradable plastic)
