OVERVIEW
What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy approach under which entity producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) are assigned significant financial and physical responsibility for the post-consumer disposal, recycling, and processing of products they introduce into the market.
Administered by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), EPR regulations mandate registration on dedicated portal portals before commercial operations or imports. Corporate Mart offers comprehensive solutions covering EPR registration, liability calculation, credit procurement from authorized recyclers, and annual compliance reporting across plastic, e-waste, battery, and tyre sectors.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Any business operating as a Producer, Importer, or Brand Owner (PIBO) dealing with plastic packaging, electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste), waste batteries, or waste tyres must register on the CPCB portal before selling or importing goods into India.
If your manufacturing, distribution, or sales presence spans two or more states in India (or if you are an importer), registration must be filed directly with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). If operations are confined strictly within a single state, registration is handled by the respective State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).
Targets are computed based on the quantity of packaging material or products introduced into the market over previous financial years, adjusted by percentage metrics established in CPCB guidelines. Importers calculate targets based on custom bill of entry data.
Non-compliance attracts heavy Environmental Compensation (EC) charges imposed by CPCB under Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act. Penalties can run into lakhs or crores of rupees depending on unfulfilled target volumes, alongside potential customs clearance blocks.
EPR Registration Certificates granted by CPCB are generally valid for 1 to 5 years depending on the specific waste category (e.g., Plastic EPR certificates are typically valid for 1 year initially, while E-Waste registrations may be granted for up to 5 years subject to annual return filings).
Foreign entities cannot register directly. They must apply through an authorized Indian subsidiary, an appointed Indian Importer, or an Authorized Representative registered within India holding a valid GSTIN and PAN.
