Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for e-waste refers to the legal obligation placed on manufacturers of electrical or electronic equipment to manage the collection, recycling, and environmentally responsible disposal of e-waste generated from their products.
As a producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), you are responsible for ensuring that e-waste is channeled through an authorized recycler under a compliant Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system. Obtaining EPR authorization is a mandatory requirement for all producers, manufacturers, bulk consumers, and importers.
Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to substantial fines and legal penalties. In severe cases, it may even result in restrictions or a ban on the production of specific products.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a vital component of effective waste management, aimed at ensuring the environmentally responsible disposal of electronic products that have reached the end of their useful life. It requires setting up a reverse logistics system to collect and recycle post-consumer e-waste, offering a structured solution for managing end-of-life electronics.
According to the e-Waste Management Rules and their Amendments, manufacturers, producers, importers, and bulk consumers of electrical and electronic equipment are obligated to meet annual EPR targets. To obtain authorization from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), companies must submit a detailed EPR plan. This plan should outline their strategies for collecting, recycling, and managing e-waste in full compliance with regulatory requirements to achieve their assigned yearly goals.
