How to Get EPR Certificate For Plastic Waste

The Draft Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2021, issued by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change raises the concern for appropriate plastic waste management. Plastic waste is one of the major contributors to pollution - which is why CPCB has implemented EPR for plastic waste management.

Authorization EPR Under Plastic (Waste Management) Rules 2016:

It is believed that India generates 25,00 tons of plastic waste every day. The production of plastic is high, due to which much plastic is entering the food chain. That results in changing the hormones of humans and could result in life-threatening diseases. Thus, it is essential for the government to step up and enforce laws. Therefore, the Government has introduced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the 2016 Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016.

Who Needs an EPR in Plastic Waste Management?

Every Producer, Brand Owner, Recycler, and Manufacturer of plastic is required to obtain registration from the concerned State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee of the Union Territory.

The Plastic Waste Management rules are applicable to every waste generator, local body, Gram Panchayat, manufacturer, Importer, and producer of Plastic Materials.

Responsibility of Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners:
