Service Overview

What is EPR Authorization?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a mandatory environmental compliance obligation for producers, importers, and brand owners of electronics (E-waste), plastic packaging, and batteries. Under EPR, companies are responsible for collecting and channelling their products for recycling or disposal at the end of their useful life.

EPR authorisation is obtained from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or the relevant State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). Companies must meet annual collection and recycling targets, maintain records, and submit quarterly and annual compliance reports.

Why this certification matters

  • Mandatory for producers, importers, and brand owners of notified products
  • Required before importing or selling E-waste, plastic, or battery products in India
  • Annual collection and recycling targets must be met to avoid penalties
  • CPCB enforcement is increasing with significant fines for non-compliance
  • Demonstrates corporate environmental responsibility to stakeholders

Producers, importers, and brand owners of electronics, plastic packaging, batteries, and tyres are required to obtain EPR authorization under the respective waste management rules.

EPR targets are annual collection and recycling percentages set by CPCB based on the volume of products placed on the market. Targets increase progressively each year.

CPCB imposes environmental compensation (a financial penalty) for unmet targets. Repeated non-compliance can lead to authorization cancellation and import/production restrictions.

A Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) is a registered entity that manages collection and recycling on behalf of producers. Using a PRO is one of the most efficient ways to meet EPR targets, especially for smaller producers.

Yes — importers of notified product categories (electronics, batteries, plastic packaging) must obtain EPR authorization before their products can clear Indian customs.
