EPR Compliance Management

End-to-end Extended Producer Responsibility services — from CPCB registration and target calculation to EPR credit trading and regulatory reporting — so you stay compliant while we handle the complexity.

What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach that makes producers, importers, and brand owners legally accountable for the end-of-life management of the plastic packaging they place on the market. Under EPR, businesses must collect, channel for recycling, and document the equivalent weight of plastic waste generated from their products.

In India, EPR for plastics is governed by the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 and the EPR Guidelines for Plastic Packaging, 2022, both issued under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Non-compliance can attract fines, suspension of operations, and reputational damage.
