Handling your E-waste Responsibly

E-waste EPR registration refers to the process by which “Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners” of electronic products comply with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 in India. EPR is a regulatory framework that places the responsibility on these entities to manage the collection, recycling, and safe disposal of the electronic waste generated from their products.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is based on the principle of “Polluter Pays”.

EPR is a concept to promote environmental sustainability and ensure the responsible management of waste generated by products throughout their lifecycle. In India, EPR is primarily governed by the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules, 2022. These rules are implemented by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) and regulated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at the national level. State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) is the State-level body to implement EPR and monitor activities related to that.

Mandatory or Voluntary?

It is a mandatory requirement for businesses involved in the manufacturing, importing, or selling of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) covered under the E-Waste (Management) Rules. The registration process ensures that these entities are accountable for the proper management of e-waste throughout the product’s lifecycle. However, it is not applicable for micro enterprise as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act.
