Plastic EPR Compliance

Plastic EPR Annual Compliance

  • In the modern times, EPR Registration is mandatory in India which means that no entity be it a  producer or importer, can carry out any kind of business without registering itself. The Registration is required for Indian importers & manufacturers of products for Plastic waste management.
  • EPR Authorization is issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under MoEF&CC, Government of India. Plastic EPR registration enables the disposal of plastic items and proper collection after use by ensuring responsible manufacturing methods, and it extends beyond that to encourage waste reduction and environmental impact in general. 
  • To apply online on the CPCB Plastic EPR portal, the applicant need to submit the company doucments, along with the Sale/import/ purchase data. The Plastic EPR Registration is valid for lifetime and only the annual compliances are to be submitted every year.
  • As a significant first, the guidelines and rules allow for the purchase and sale of surplus Plastic recycling credits thus setting up a market mechanism for plastic waste management. The Plastic EPR rules will give a rise to the formalization and further development of the plastic waste management industry. 
  • On 18th March 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and climate change (MoEF&CC) published the Plastic Waste Management Rules (PWM), 2016. According to these Rules, plastic waste generators must take steps to reduce plastic waste generation, avoid littering plastic waste, ensure segregated waste storage at the source and send over segregated trash to local bodies or organisations permitted by the local bodies. Local governments, village panchayats, waste generators, retailers and street sellers are all required to manage plastic waste under the guidelines. 

According to the PWM Rules, the Producers, importers and brand owners (PIBOs) who import/manufacture/sell/package the products into the market have to get Plastic EPR Registrationfor the management of plastic packaging waste.
