Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Plastic Waste

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Plastic Waste is a statutory obligation under the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022, requiring Producers, Importers, Brand Owners (PIBOs), and Plastic Waste Processors to ensure environmentally responsible management of plastic packaging waste.

Under this framework, businesses must register with CPCB, meet annual collection and recycling targets, and submit periodic compliance filings to demonstrate responsible plastic waste management.

Simplicomp supports organisations with end-to-end plastic waste EPR compliance, from registration to annual reporting and target fulfilment.

What is EPR for Plastic Waste?

EPR is a policy mechanism that places responsibility on businesses to manage the post-consumer plastic waste generated from their packaging materials.

If your organisation manufactures, imports, sells, or uses plastic packaging, you are legally required to :-

Register on the CPCB EPR Portal
Declare plastic packaging quantities
Meet recycling, reuse, and end-of-life targets
File annual and quarterly compliance reports
Maintain agreements with authorised plastic waste processors

Non-compliance may result in penalties, registration suspension, or business restrictions.
