EPR Compliance

We help manufacturers and businesses stay ahead of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations — registration, take-back programmes and certified reporting that turn post-consumer e-waste into fully documented, compliant outcomes.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) shifts the job of dealing with e-waste from governments and consumers onto the manufacturers who put the devices into the market in the first place. We help manufacturers and businesses meet that obligation end to end — registration, take-back programmes, recovery targets and the certified reporting that proves it all happened — turning post-consumer electronics into fully documented, compliant outcomes.

EPR rests on four pillars: take-back programmes for end-of-life products, measurable recovery/recycling targets, design-for-recycling improvements, and financial responsibility for collection and disposal costs.
Producers must register on CPCB’s EPR portal, then file annual returns (Form-1) and maintain records (Form-2), with filings on a quarterly cadence and a final return due 30 June.
Recycling-obligation targets step up in phases — 60% of generation through FY 2024-25, rising to 70% by FY 2026-27 and 80% from FY 2027-28 onward.
Dismantlers and recyclers we route waste through need their own State Pollution Control Board authorisation — GPCB in Gujarat — under Rule 13(3) of the E-Waste Rules, valid for 5 years.
Non-compliance can draw Environmental Compensation under the Environment (Protection) Act — reported up to ₹1 lakh per day — alongside possible customs holds, licence action, and prosecution in serious cases.
Beyond compliance, using manufacturer take-back programmes instead of independent disposal can lower overall disposal costs — while keeping toxic material out of landfills and precious/rare-earth metals in circulation. Recycling aluminium, for instance, uses roughly 95% less energy than producing it from virgin ore.
How it works

EPR Compliance step by step

01

Registration & Authorisation

We help producers register on CPCB’s EPR portal, and route every device only through recyclers holding valid State Pollution Control Board authorisation — GPCB in Gujarat, under Rule 13(3) of the E-Waste Rules.

02

Take-Back & Collection Network

End-of-life products are gathered through take-back programmes, feeding straight into our reverse logistics network so nothing sits unaccounted for.

03

Recovery, Recycling & Targets

Material is processed to meet India’s phased recycling-obligation targets — 60% of generation today, stepping up to 80% by FY 2027-28.

04

Certified Reporting & Audit Trail

Form-1 annual returns and Form-2 records are filed on CPCB’s EPR portal, generating the EPR certificates that prove compliance and stand up to audit.

Regulatory & industry context

The four pillars of EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility rests on take-back programmes, recovery/recycling targets, design-for-recycling, and financial responsibility for end-of-life costs — the framework producers are held to under India’s E-Waste Rules, the EU’s WEEE Directive and various US state laws.

Phase-wise EPR recycling targets

India’s recycling-obligation targets step up over time — 60% of generation through FY 2024-25, rising to 80% from FY 2027-28 — making certified, audit-ready reporting a compliance necessity.

Annual returns & Environmental Compensation

Producers must file Form-1 annual returns and maintain Form-2 records on CPCB’s EPR portal; non-compliance can draw Environmental Compensation of up to ₹1 lakh per day under the Environment (Protection) Act.

State Pollution Control Board authorisation

Recyclers need SPCB authorisation under Rule 13(3) of the E-Waste Rules — GPCB in Gujarat — valid for 5 years, and specific to the waste categories it covers.
