EPR Registration for E-waste, Plastics and Batteries
If you manufacture, import, or sell electronic or IT products in India, obtaining an EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) registration is a legal requirement under India's environmental laws. It ensures your business complies with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and is authorized by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
At Induce India, we offer complete consulting services to help you secure EPR registration with ease—right from document preparation to final approval.
What is EPR Registration?
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) places legal responsibility on producers to manage their products after the end of their lifecycle. It mandates collection, recycling, or safe disposal of electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Under the CPCB’s E-Waste Management Rules, all producers—manufacturers, importers, and brand owners—must secure EPR authorization.
Why is EPR registration important?
India is one of the world’s largest producers of e-waste, generating millions of tons annually. Improper disposal of electronic waste leads to hazardous substances like lead and mercury polluting land, water, and air.
EPR compliance ensures that companies play a role in reducing environmental impact, promote sustainable recycling practices, and build eco-conscious business operations. It also signals a company’s commitment to sustainability to consumers.
