Extended Producer Responsibility in India
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach that assigns responsibility for end-of-life waste management to the producer, importer, or brand owner. In India, EPR is mandatory under several waste management rules:
• Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules 2022 — for producers, importers, and brand owners of plastic packaging. • E-Waste (Management) Rules 2022 — for manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment. • Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 — for battery manufacturers and importers. • Waste Tyre Management Rules 2022 — for tyre manufacturers and importers.
Non-registration under EPR or non-fulfilment of EPR targets attracts penalties including cancellation of registration, fines, and restriction on production/import. CPCB has been actively taking enforcement action against defaulters since 2022.

How We Handle EPR Registration & Compliance
Applicability Assessment
Determine EPR applicability (plastic packaging, e-waste, battery, tyre) based on product type and annual volume; assess obligation quantum from production/import data.
CPCB Registration
Register on the CPCB EPR portal under applicable waste category; submit organisation details, product details, production/import data, and waste management plan.
EPR Plan & Target Fulfilment
Submit annual EPR plan with target quantities; identify PRO partners or approved recyclers; purchase EPR credits on the CPCB marketplace to meet targets.
Annual Reporting & Renewal
File annual EPR return by prescribed deadline; reconcile actual volumes placed vs. EPR credits/recycling accomplished; renew registration for next year.

What Our Clients Say
“We were not aware our plastic packaging required EPR registration until a CPCB notice arrived. JCA got us registered, filed the overdue annual report, and set up a proper compliance calendar going forward. Resolved a potential penalty situation professionally.”

“JCA handles our e-waste EPR and plastic packaging EPR — two categories, different portals and timelines. They manage it all, buy the EPR credits on our behalf, and we just review and sign the annual returns. Completely hassle-free.”
Balaji Krishnaswamy
