EPR-Authorization Certificate Process for E-Waste Products

EPR Authorization for E-Waste

In India, the EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) concept for e-waste is governed by the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016. These rules were introduced to address the increasing problem of e-waste in the country and to ensure its environmentally sound management.

Under these rules, producers, manufacturers, and importers of electronic equipment and components are responsible for the environmentally sound management of their products throughout their lifecycle, including their disposal at the end of life. To fulfill their EPR obligations, these entities are required to obtain authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

To obtain EPR authorization for e-waste, producers, manufacturers, and importers are required to submit an application to the CPCB along with the necessary documents and fees. The CPCB then reviews the application and grants authorization if it is found to be in compliance with the rules.

Once authorized, the entities are responsible for implementing e-waste management plans, setting up collection systems, and ensuring that e-waste is collected, transported, and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. They are also required to submit an annual report to the CPCB detailing their e-waste management activities.

Failure to obtain EPR authorization for e-waste can result in penalties and fines under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016. Therefore, it is important for producers, manufacturers, and importers of electronic equipment and components to obtain EPR authorization and comply with the regulations to ensure the sustainable management of e-waste in India.
