Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a policy framework that aims to shift the burden of waste management from local governments and taxpayers to the producers and importers of products. Under the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016, the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, and Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, EPR Registration is mandatory for producers, brand owners, importers, and bulk consumers. They are held responsible for the proper disposal and recycling of the products they manufacture, distribute, or use.
EPR authorization Registration is regulated by the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) and the SPCB (State Pollution Control Board) as per the jurisdiction. The EPR Certification implementation for plastic waste, electronic waste, and battery waste helps to promote sustainable waste management and diminish the environmental impact of applicable products. ASC Group act as a PRO (Producer Responsibility Organization) for companies and help them to comply with the Waste Management Rules in India.

As per, the plastic waste management rule, 2016, EPR mandates producers and importers to take back and recycle the plastic waste they put on the market and obtain EPR Registration. They are also responsible for the collection of plastic waste from their products. Brand owners need to ensure that the product packaging is recyclable and for complying with the recycling targets set by the government of India.
Similarly, in the case of electronic waste (e-waste management rule, 2016), EPR mandates that producers and importers take back and recycle their products at the end of their useful life. They are responsible to set up collection points for e-waste management and make sure that their product waste is disposed and recycle in an environmentally friendly manner. Brand owners are responsible to ensure that their product waste is designed for easy disassembly and recycling. Bulk consumers are required to ensure that their e-waste is segregated and disposed of responsibly.
Under the battery waste management rule, 2022, EPR requires battery producers and importers to take back and recycle their products at the end of their life. They are also required to set up collection points for used batteries and to ensure that the batteries are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Brand owners are responsible for ensuring that their products are designed for easy disassembly and recycling.
