Complete compliance solutions for plastic waste, e-waste, and battery waste producers, importers, and brand owners across India.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers, importers, and brand owners are held responsible for the environmental impact of their products throughout the product's lifecycle โ including end-of-life collection and management.
In India, EPR is mandated by the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC) under specific waste management rules, enforced by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Failure to register or meet EPR targets can result in heavy penalties, legal notices, and business disruption.

EPR registration is mandatory for all producers, importers, and brand owners (PIBOs) who manufacture, import, or sell products with plastic packaging, electronic equipment, or batteries in India โ regardless of company size. Even small and medium enterprises using plastic packaging must comply.
CPCB sets annual collection/recycling targets as a percentage of the quantity of waste introduced by the producer into the market. These targets increase progressively each year. For plastic waste, the target started at 25% in 2021-22 and is increasing to 100% by 2024-25. Our team calculates your exact targets based on your annual production/import data.
Missing deadlines or failing to meet EPR targets results in Environmental Compensation (EC) charges levied by CPCB. These can be significant โ up to โน10,000 per tonne of shortfall. Repeated non-compliance can lead to show-cause notices, legal action, and website blacklisting. We help ensure you never miss a deadline.
Yes! EPR registration is done centrally on the CPCB national portal, covering your operations pan-India. However, some states have additional SPCB requirements, which our team handles seamlessly.
A Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) is a registered entity that helps producers fulfill their EPR collection targets. Producers can either set up their own collection system or affiliate with a CPCB-registered PRO. InteLegal can help you identify the best approach and connect you with authorized PROs.
