Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Electronic Waste in India

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Electronic Waste is a statutory obligation that makes producers, importers, and brand owners of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) responsible for the collection, recycling, and environmentally sound disposal of e-waste generated from their products at end-of-life.

Under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, companies dealing in regulated electronic products must obtain EPR Authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and meet prescribed collection and recycling targets through authorised recyclers and Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs).

Simplicomp Tech LLP provides end-to-end support for EPR compliance for electronic waste, covering registration, EPR plan development, recycler coordination, target tracking, reporting, and renewals.

What Is EPR for Electronic Waste?

EPR for E-Waste is a regulatory framework that requires companies placing electronic products in the Indian market to:

Take responsibility for post-consumer e-waste
Ensure collection and recycling through authorised channels
Meet annual CPCB-assigned recycling targets
Maintain traceable records and compliance reporting
Prevent informal or unsafe disposal of electronic waste

It ensures environmentally sound e-waste management, pollution prevention, and circular economy adoption.
