EPR Registration

In India, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is a framework that holds manufacturers accountable for their products' full lifecycle, especially at disposal. EPR Registration is key for businesses handling items like plastics, electronics & batteries in India. SKMC Global helps businesses navigate EPR’s complexities, ensuring they stay compliant & eco-friendly.

What is EPR?

EPR, or Extended Producer Responsibility, means manufacturers are responsible for properly recycling & disposing of their products. This policy helps cut environmental harm, supports recycling, & promotes sustainable production practices.

Types of EPR Registration

Various EPR Registration types are available based on the industry & materials used. Each type has its own documents & standards, which SKMC Global makes easier for clients to manage.

• Plastic waste EPR Registration: Focuses on managing and recycling plastic waste to reduce environmental impact.
• E-Waste EPR Registration: Specific to electronic waste, covering products like batteries, electronics, and other electrical items.
• Battery waste EPR Registration: Covers disposal and recycling responsibilities for batteries, aiming to reduce toxic waste.

Process of EPR Registration

The following are the steps involved in EPR registration:

• Documentation: Make sure you have a copy of all pertinent documents on hand in the forms of PDF, JPG, or PNG before completing the application.
• Obtaining login credentials through registration: Filling out the application is the first step in the application process, which also involves self-registration on the centralized portal to receive login credentials.
• Application submission: The applicant will obtain login credentials after completing self-registration, which they can use to submit the application. We have created separate application pages specifically for importers, brand owners, and producers. For EPR Registration, the applicant must fill out each part and provide any necessary paperwork.
• Submission of application fee: The Applicant shall pay the application fees along with the application for Registration. The fees shall be paid online using the payment gateway integrated on the portal.
• Application processing: Online applications submitted by PIBOs will be forwarded to the relevant SPCBs/PCCs on the same portal for additional processing if the PIBOs operate in one or two states. The applications that remain will be processed by CPCB.
• Grant of EPR Registration: Appointed officials will review the registration application and grant EPR registration within 15 days. Applications that contain fraudulent information or documents will be refused.
