What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

CPCB EPR Environmental Certification
CPCB PIBO Compliance & Credit Management CPCB & MoEFCC Mandate

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a statutory environmental policy enacted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC) and regulated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). It places the financial and operational responsibility on Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) for the end-of-life treatment of their products and packaging.

Under the updated E-Waste, Plastic Waste, and Battery Waste Management Rules, obtaining an EPR Registration Certificate from CPCB is mandatory prior to manufacturing, importing, selling, or custom-clearing goods in the Indian territory.

Who is a PIBO?

Producers (manufacturers), Importers (bringing goods/packaging into India), and Brand Owners (selling goods under registered brands).

Environmental Compensation Risk

Non-compliance or failure to meet annual recycling targets attracts steep Environmental Compensation (EC) fines from CPCB.

Frequently Asked Questions (CPCB EPR)

Yes! Indian Customs (ICEGATE) cross-verifies CPCB EPR registration numbers for electronic equipment, plastic-wrapped goods, and batteries. Failure to show valid EPR leads to consignment detention at port.
