About EPR Registration for Plastic Packaging
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Producers, importers and brand owners (PIBOs) that introduce plastic packaging into the Indian market must register on CPCB's centralised EPR portal under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, meet yearly targets for collection, recycling and use of recycled content by plastic category, buy EPR certificates from registered processors to meet them, and file an annual return by 30 June. Operating without registration attracts environmental compensation.
E-commerce sellers and D2C brands are often brand owners under the rules even if a contract manufacturer packs their products. The obligation depends on the quantity and category of plastic packaging — rigid (I), flexible (II), multilayered (III) and compostable (IV).
We calculate your packaging quantities, register you on the portal, plan targets, source EPR certificates from registered plastic waste processors, and file the annual returns.
