EPR Certification & Registration

What is EPR Certification & Registration?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental compliance framework that places specified responsibilities on eligible producers, manufacturers, importers, and brand owners for the environmentally sound management of covered products, packaging, and waste streams. EPR Registration in India is governed by the applicable waste management rules, which establish category-specific registration procedures and compliance obligations.

EPR Certification and Registration may be relevant to businesses manufacturing, importing, or placing regulated products and packaging on the Indian market. Depending on the products and business activities involved, applicable requirements may include Battery Waste EPR, Plastic Waste EPR, E-Waste EPR, Used Oil EPR, and Waste Tyre EPR. Each category has its own eligibility criteria, regulatory requirements, registration process, and ongoing compliance obligations.

Our services include EPR applicability assessment, identification of relevant regulatory requirements, document checklist preparation, assistance with registration applications, and guidance on applicable post-registration responsibilities. We help businesses understand the requirements relevant to their products and activities.
