OVERVIEW

As per Rule 13 (1) (i), (ii) & (vi) of E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, CPCB has the mandate to grant, renew, or refuse EPR-Authorization to Producers of the Electrical & Electronic Equipment (EEE) listed in schedule - I of the said Rules.

By registering with EPR, businesses can not only comply with legal requirements but also demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. EPR registration provides a comprehensive framework for the collection, transportation, and recycling of e-waste, ensuring that hazardous materials are handled safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.

EPR REGISTRATION BENEFITS

Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) registration has various advantages such as:

Waste management

Offers recommendations on how waste should be handled.

Reduces Plastic pollution

Through proper disposal of plastic garbage.

Sustainable development

Encourages manufacturers to use sustainable resources to produce better products.

Standardization

The EPR certificate defines the norms for manufacture, similar to the BIS certificate.

Leader for a better future

Encourages concerned parties to engage in EPR to make a better world.

EMPHASIS ON E-WASTE SEGREGATION –

Electronic waste management involves taking steps to dispose of electronic waste in environmentally friendly ways.

E-waste segregation results in both the recycling and disposal of electronic waste. We can efficiently utilize the planet's finite non-renewable resources by amassing electronic garbage and extracting its best and most useable pieces.

FAQ

In India, manufacturers and importers of electronic equipment are required to register for EPR (E-Waste) under the e-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016.

To ensure compliance with EPR regulations, manufacturers and importers of electronic equipment should establish and implement a robust e-waste management program. This may include establishing collection and recycling programs, implementing internal controls to ensure compliance with regulations, and regularly monitoring and reporting on e-waste management activities. It is also important to stay informed of any changes or updates to EPR regulations in your jurisdiction.

To ensure that your e-waste is properly recycled and disposed of, you can work with a certified e-waste management company that adheres to industry standards and regulations for e-waste disposal. You can also check with your local authorities for information on approved e-waste collection and recycling programs in your area.
