EPR or Extended procedure responsibility focuses on the management of the disposal of the product by the manufacturers and business owners after the product becomes unuseful by the consumers. The Indian Government launched the draft EPR rules so that businesses are able to manage e-waste (Electronic Waste) more effectively by selling or recycling it once it becomes unuseful.
Under the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016, the manufacturers and importers are given the responsibility to dispose or recycle their e-waste in a manner that is environmentally sound. This is known as EPR Authorization.
EPR Authorization Must For All Companies Generating E-Waste, Under the E Waste Management Management Rules 2016, the manufacturers and importers are given the responsibility to dispose or recycle their e-waste in a manner that is environmentally sound. This is known as EPR Authorization. EPR basically stands for Extended Producer Responsibility. Under EPR, three types of authorizations are given:
Out of the three, obtaining the manufacturing authorization is considered to be the toughest. Obtaining this authorization is compulsory for all Indian and foreign companies dealing in electronic waste. Companies failing to obtain this authorization can face imprisonment for a period of 5 years and/or fine of 1 Lac rupees.
The draft EPR rules were applicable to producers, importers, and brand owners planning to launch their products in India. The regulation clearly prioritizes the recycling and reuse of Plastic Waste. Other Plastic Wastes that can not be recycled like multilayered and multi-material plastic need to be sent for lifetime disposals like road construction, waste to oils, and more. Being a manufacturer it has become essential to get Plastic Waste approval as it will help you to operate more smoothly in the Indian market.
The regulators clearly stated that every manufacturer and regulator needs to declare to the government the amount of Plastic Waste collected and what mechanism they are using to collect it back. Governments are continuously adopting new strategies and imposing fines to reduce the use of Plastic Waste in India. By getting Plastic Waste approval you will be able to highlight that your business is eligible for sale and purchase in the Indian market. Not only that but it will also highlight that your company is taking all the necessary steps to tackle plastic pollution by recycling and reusing it.
