EPR Registration: Ensuring Responsible Plastic Waste Management in India

Plastic waste is a growing environmental threat, and India has responded with strict regulations to control its impact. One such measure is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)—a legal requirement for Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (amended in 2022). EPR mandates that companies take full responsibility for collecting, recycling, and safely disposing of plastic waste linked to their products. To comply, businesses must register with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) by submitting essential documents, including company registration, product packaging details, and a solid waste management plan. Plastic packaging is divided into four categories—rigid, flexible, multilayered, and compostable—each requiring specific handling procedures. The registration process is completed online, and companies must pay fees based on their size. Regular compliance reports are also required to maintain their registration status. By fulfilling EPR obligations, businesses not only follow the law but also contribute to sustainability and improve their brand image. PSR Compliance offers expert support to help businesses register and stay compliant with EPR regulations. Learn more at https://www.psrcompliance.com/epr-registration-for-plastic-waste
