Understanding EPR for Plastic Waste Management

All entities that use or manufacture plastic packaging materials must register with the CPCB under its EPR Plastic Registration System. This includes categories like:

• Plastic packaging producers,
• Importers or producers of plastic packaging,
• Brand owners who sell plastic-packaged goods,
• Plastic waste processors involved in recycling or co-processing,
