What is Plastic EPR?
Plastic EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is a mandatory environmental compliance introduced under the Plastic Waste Management Rules by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
It places the responsibility of managing plastic waste on businesses that introduce plastic packaging into the market.
Under Plastic EPR, companies must ensure the collection, recycling, and environmentally safe disposal of plastic waste generated from their products. The primary aim is to reduce plastic pollution, promote recycling, and support a sustainable circular economy.
Who Needs Plastic EPR Registration?
Plastic EPR registration is mandatory for all entities involved in plastic packaging, including:
- Producers manufacturing plastic packaging materials
- Importers bringing plastic packaging or plastic-packed products into India
- Brand Owners selling products under their own brand using plastic packaging
- E-commerce companies and online sellers using plastic packaging
- Plastic Waste Processors such as recyclers and co-processors
If your business places plastic packaging in the Indian market, Plastic EPR compliance is legally required.
