Everything You Need To Know About EPR E-Waste Authorization

Description

EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility. This authorisation is overseen by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and is based on the principle of “Polluter Pays”. It is required to be obtained by PIBO i.e. Producers, Importers and Brand Owners. Through this authorisation, PIBOs are issued with recycling targets or EPR obligations. If the authorisation concerns PIBOs of Electrical and Electronic Equipments (EEE), it may be obtained through the E-Waste EPR Portal which is an E-Waste Management System. This authorisation ensures the efficient management of e-waste by promoting its reuse, recycling and eco-friendly disposal.
