EPR Registration for Plastic Waste Management

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an essential regulatory framework that mandates companies involved in plastic production, packaging, and use to manage the plastic waste they generate. Under India’s Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, businesses that produce, import, or use plastic packaging must obtain EPR authorization, ensuring they actively take responsibility for plastic waste management and recycling. ECS India provides comprehensive assistance in obtaining EPR registration for plastic waste, streamlining the process for compliance with PWM rules.

What is EPR Registration for Plastic Waste?

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.

Categories of Plastic Packaging Covered under EPR

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)
