EPR Certification

Businesses required to obtain EPR certification include manufacturers, importers, and brand owners who sell or distribute products in India with plastic packaging. The process involves registering with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or the respective State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), submitting product and packaging details, preparing an action plan for waste collection and recycling, and ensuring compliance through periodic reporting. Once approved, an EPR registration certificate is issued, allowing legal operation and demonstrating adherence to environmental regulations.
